Lviv Unveils Andriy Parubiy Square

According to Главком: On May 24, 2026, a ceremony in Lviv marked the official opening of a square named after Andriy Parubiy. Located adjacent to the Lviv Regional Council building-where Parubiy served as a deputy for multiple terms-the site now bears his name. This event represented a significant tribute to a politician who dedicated his life to serving Ukraine.

Born on January 31, Andriy Parubiy rose to prominence in Ukraine's political arena. Over his career, he held several key positions, including People's Deputy, Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, and Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council. His legacy is remembered by many Ukrainians as a symbol of the struggle for Ukrainian statehood.

Kyiv Names Unnamed Passage After Andriy Parubiy

Additionally, on April 23, 2026, an unnamed passage in Kyiv-located between Mariinsky Park and building No. 9 on Mykhailo Hrushevsky Street-was officially renamed after Andriy Parubiy. The decision was made during a plenary session of the 5th session of the 9th convocation of the Kyiv City Council, with 70 deputies voting in favor of the initiative.

“It was right here-near the regional council building where he served as a deputy for several convocations-that Andriy began his political journey. In this way, the city honored the memory of a man who devoted his entire life to Ukraine.”
