Maidan Square is a highly symbolic location for #Ukrainians. It was the site of numerous popular #protest movements that have pushed Ukraine in the direction of a more free society, and can be seen as the figurative cradle of Ukrainian democracy.
Mere steps away from where the debris fell, those who mourn the war dead have planted #flags and portraits along the square. On some nights, it is common to see candles lit for those who have sacrificed their lives for #Ukrainian sovereignty.
