Kyiv Council renamed Ivana Kudri street in Kyiv to John McCain street

The Kyiv City Council has renamed Ivana Kudri street in Kyiv to John McCain street.

Censor.NET reports citing MP Oleksandr Kharchenko's post on Facebook.

A total of 71 deputies of the Kyiv City Council voted in favour of the relevant decision.

Former U.S. Senator John McCain was known for his support for Ukraine. During the Revolution of Dignity, the senator visited Kyiv and came to the Independence Square, where thousands of Ukrainians were rallying for the pro-European course of the country.

He also called on the U.S. authorities to help Ukraine with weapons, because lack of assistance "only encouraged Putin" to escalate the conflict with Ukraine.

John McCain died on August 25, 2018, at the age of 81.
