St. Michael’s Cathedral has so many layers of symbolism. It was built 11th century and Destroyed by the #Soviet regime in 1930s to be rebuilt again in independent #Ukraine.
Bearing the name St. Michael, considered to be a protector of #Kyiv, this space has served as a safe haven during the Revolution of Dignity in 2014.
The Cathedral and space around it has also become place of remembrance for victims of #Holodomor and those who died fighting against #Russian aggression since 2014.

As a #Kyiv native. I have spent so many Sundays in this space and it has a special place in my heart. Seeing @POTUS visiting his space is truly meaningful and historic. #SlavaUkraïni#StandWithUkraine
