Flowers, candles and a children's toy were brought to the monument to Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko in Krasnodar in memory of the people who died from a missile strike in the Dnieper. This was reported to The Insider by local residents.
The photographs from the site show that a photograph of a house destroyed by a rocket and a sign with the inscription “Dnepr 01/14/2023” were also placed near the monument.
The night before, the police detained four people who had come with flowers to the monument to Lesya Ukrainka in Moscow. A spontaneous memorial at the monument to the poetess appeared on January 16: the townspeople bring flowers and toys to it, and a photograph of the destroyed house was also placed there.
On January 14, during another massive shelling of the territory of Ukraine, a rocket hit a multi-storey residential building in the Dnieper. According to the latest data, 45 people died as a result, including six children. The rescue operation lasted four days.
A bust of Taras Shevchenko was erected in Krasnodar in 1980. It stands at the intersection of Shevchenko Street and Stavropolskaya Street.
