A giant mock bulletproof vest placed on the monument to Princess Olga next to an exhibition of destroyed Russian military machinery on Mykhailivska Square in Kyiv, Ukraine, 13 September 2023, amid the Russian invasion. Unidentified people put on the bulletproof vest on the statue with the inscription “She needs an armor”. In March 2022, sandbags had been placed around the monument in order to protect it from possible shelling. The bags were removed in summer 2023. (Photo by Sergey Dolzhenko/EPA/EFE)
