In Chernihiv, a decision was made to rename one of the squares in honor of US President Donald Trump. This decision was made on October 16 during the 46th extraordinary session of the city council. 22 deputies voted in favor of the proposal.
The initiator of the renaming was the head of the European Solidarity faction, Maryna Semenenko. This concerns the "Fairy Tale" square, located in the Sherstyanka microdistrict. The document submitted for consideration notes that in this way the city wants to honor the "outstanding political leader of our time" and draw international attention to the reconstruction of Chernihiv, which suffered significant destruction during the Russian invasion.
The explanatory note notes that the residents of Chernihiv express hope for the possible role of Donald Trump in ending the current war. The authors of the resolution are convinced that he can contribute to achieving sustainable peace and, according to the initiators, even deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.
The decision has already sparked active discussion among residents and on social media. Some saw the initiative as a symbolic diplomatic gesture, while others saw it as a controversial move amid the political polarization surrounding Donald Trump in the world.
