A temporarysculptural installation in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, depicts Russian PresidentVladimir Putin with a gun in his mouth with the message Shoot yourself. Dmitry Iv's work at the centre of the capital represents Ukraine's animosity towards Russia since Putin sent in troops on February 24, triggering the largest conflict Europe has seen since World War II. Amid the invasion, a statue marking Ukraine and Russia's friendship, and commemorating the Soviet Union, was dismantled. Kyiv mayorVitali Klitschko spoke about taking down thePeople’s Friendship Arch, saying We now see what this ‘friendship’ is – destruction of Ukrainian cities…killing tens of thousands of peaceful people. I am convinced such a monument has an entirely different meaning now.

Signalling Ukraine's changing relations, the statue symbolizing friendship between the nations is to be renamed Arch of Freedom of the Ukrainian People, as per Kyiv's mayor. In the initial days of the invasion, Yuval Noah Harari, a public intellectual and historian atthe Hebrew University of Jerusalem noted that while Putin might win Ukraine, it would be hard for him to hold it unless Ukrainians allowed it. This has become increasingly unlikely, with Russia's actions in the war-torn nation. From indiscriminate shelling to the uncovering of mass civilian graves in Bucha after Moscow's troops withdrew from Kyiv and Chernihiv regions, the atrocities of war have brought condemnation from Ukrainians and the global community.
