🇺🇦 What makes Kyiv, Kyiv? Is it the golden domes 🇺🇦 What makes Kyiv, Kyiv? Is it the golden domes of the Lavra? The chestnut trees that bloom each spring? The funicular climbing the hillside between Upper and Lower City? Or perhaps it’s the people, the stories and the resilience woven into every corner of Ukraine’s capital. To celebrate Kyiv Day, we’ve picked some of the landmarks, flavours and symbols that make Kyiv one of Europe’s most fascinating cities. From ancient gates and colourful neighbourhoods to Kyiv Cake and Maidan, swipe through to discover the places that have shaped the city for generations. 💙 Have you visited Kyiv? Which place would you add to this list? #Kyiv #KyivDay #KyivCity #Ukraine #UkrainianCulture
🎂🏙️ Happy 1544th Birthday, Kyiv! 💙💛 For over fift 🎂🏙️ Happy 1544th Birthday, Kyiv! 💙💛 For over fifteen centuries, Kyiv has stood on the banks of the Dnipro as a centre of culture, history, resilience, and freedom. From its golden-domed churches and historic streets to its vibrant modern life, Ukraine’s capital continues to inspire millions around the world. Through every challenge, Kyiv remains strong, proud, and beautiful. З Днем народження, Києве! 🇺🇦 📍 Kyiv, Ukraine #Kyiv #KyivDay #Київ #Kyiv1544 #Ukraine Україна
Ukrainian Borshch in 30 seconds? If only 😅 Anyone Ukrainian Borshch in 30 seconds? If only 😅 Anyone who’s ever made a pot of борщ knows it takes a little more than half a minute (and a lot more cleaning up too!) For now, here’s the 30-second version.

One of my favourite Ukrainian days of the year is One of my favourite Ukrainian days of the year is here: День Вишиванки 💙💛 There’s just something really special about seeing people across the world wearing vyshyvanky today - at home, at work, at school, in city centres, villages, and far from Ukraine too. It always makes me feel connected to our culture, our families, and each other. The Vyshyvanka is so much more than embroidered clothing. Every pattern, colour, and stitch carries history, identity, tradition, and love passed down through generations. We hope you enjoy reading through our post below and learning more about Ukrainian national dress 🇺🇦 #vyshyvankaday #деньвишиванки #ukraine #vyshyvanka
