Mayor Vitali Klitschko led this initiative, as Kyiv’s municipal authorities reached out to the owners of these digital advertising structures, encouraging them to display the Israeli flag.
This gesture symbolised the strong support of Ukrainians for the Israeli people, who are facing aggression now. Mayor Klitschko shared photos and videos of the Israeli flag on the streets of Kyiv via his Telegram channel.
“Right now in Kyiv, from 8:00 p.m. for half an hour, we’re displaying the flag of Israel on more than 350 digital advertising screens throughout the city. This is our way of showing solidarity with the Israeli people who are bravely defending their country in the face of aggression,” he wrote.
