“I believe that streets such as Novomoskovsk, Borodinskaya, Kurskaya, Voronezhskaya, Chapaeva and others should be renamed,” he wrote on his social media account.

In total, according to the mayor, it is necessary to change the names of 24 streets of the city.

“The list of streets will be submitted to the meeting of the historical and toponymic commission.

The final decision, of course, will be made by the deputies of the city council at the session,” Trukhanov said.

At the end of May, the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, said that, according to incoming information, the Kyiv mayor's office was considering an appeal from the French authorities to rename Moskovskaya Street in the Ukrainian capital into Charles de Gaulle, Paris or French Street.
