12. It's a beautiful city.

Once the war is over, I look forward to visiting again.

4. The Saint Sophia cathedral looks beautiful in the picture.

I was there in 2019 before this madness happened. It was built over a thousand years ago not too long after the Rus of the area converted. I also saw the Babi Yar horrors as well. Paid my respects there too.

Kyiv was massively underrated city in my travels. I liked it there a lot. I hope it can be free of the Putin menace and have some peace again.

13. I visited around the same time.

Saw St. Sophia, St. Michael's and the Pechersk Lavra. Stayed on the Maidan that was the scene of the protests in 2014. A phenomenal history that rivals Rome and Paris in terms of culture, art and beauty.

15. Cool! I was a couple blocks from St Sofia. At a previous role, we had an office there that I worked at a few times.

As the other poster below stated, it’s like a time capsule inside…the soviets almost bulldozed it. More of a museum now. The Lavra area is active of course. That was an enormous space…incredible….as you know…

On the weekends I walked about 12-15 miles per day exploring. The long park overlooking much of the city was great - and that’s where I walked many of those miles! I remember, the footbridge crossing the Dnieper where people were bungee jumping…the island in the river on the other side had a pretty good beach for being in Kyiv! No plans…just left the hotel and walked in general directions! I could go on and on…

Lavra took more than half a day….that was my biggest recommendation to people until the war started.

9. Zelensky was most limpressive at Munich.

[Brother Buzz]

10. He was well received too

[Amaryllis]

11. Yes, he was. Very happy to see that. He is also articulate and very likeable. Unlike some who shall remain nameless.
