Kyiv to name central street after Parubii
Kyiv will name a street after MP and former Verkhovna Rada Speaker Andrii Parubii, who was killed in Lviv on August 30, 2025. The initiative was supported by 57% of participants in a public poll on the Kyiv Digital portal and app.
The European Solidarity Party’s press service reported this, Censor.NET informs.
Where the street will be
It is a section along Mariinskyi Park — from Hrushevskyi Street to Parkova Road.
Marina Poroshenko, European Solidarity’s leader in the Kyiv City Council, said the street name would be a symbol of gratitude to Andrii Parubii.
"His work is an example of service to the state, responsibility and devotion to Ukraine. I am convinced that a street name in the very center of Kyiv will become a symbol of memory, gratitude and respect for Andrii and for those who stood up to defend our freedom and statehood," Maryna Poroshenko wrote.
Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko also supported the initiative. He thanked everyone who took part in the poll:
"Sincere thanks to everyone who voted in favor. This will be a worthy tribute to Andriy’s memory — a true Hero of Ukraine."
