Kyiv has become the safest city in Ukraine thanks to Western air defense systems. Indeed, the capital is in full swing, with many changes and updates taking place every day that affect the lives of citizens and foreign visitors in one way or another. Read on to learn about the most important events in Kyiv over the past week.

The Great Lavra Bell Tower was opened to tourists for the first time in 30 years

After a successful reconstruction, the bell tower of the Kyiv Cave Monastery is open to visitors again. While the third tier of the bell tower has been accessible since October, the top (fourth tier) has been closed for reconstruction for more than 10 years, and tourists have not been allowed here at all for the past 30 years.

It should be noted that the Lavra bell tower is the tallest church building in the capital of Ukraine. Its height is 96.5 meters.

The first "Berlin airbag" was installed in Kyiv: where exactly?

For the safety of pedestrians, the first "Berlin airbag" in the capital, which will slow down traffic, was installed on the left bank of Kyiv near the Darnytsia metro station on Bazhova Street.

"The purpose of such an artificial bump is to reduce the speed of passenger vehicles," the Center for Traffic Management notes.

However, this obstacle is designed to slow down only passenger vehicles, as special equipment and buses have a wider wheelbase, and therefore will be able to pass without stopping, allowing a "cushion" between the wheels.

At the same time, the Centralized Traffic Control Center notes that after the test period of the Berlin cushion, similar speed bumps may be installed on other streets of Kyiv.
