The report notes that the name change affected a small section of Bayswater Road, which is located near the Russian embassy. London authorities rushed to install new signs on Friday.
At the same time, the head of the district council, Adam Hag, said that this initiative arose from the Ukrainian community and was implemented by the city authorities as a sign of solidarity with the Ukrainian people. It should be noted that Hug, back in May 2022, proposed to rename Westminster Street.
Let’s remember that on Thursday a group of Ukrainian radicals painted the street in front of the Russian embassy in London with the blue and yellow colors of the Ukrainian flag. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, ridiculed this action. She pointed out that what happened is a nightmare for Bandera. Russian diplomats will now trample on the national flag of Ukraine, which was attached to them by their supporters, the diplomat noted.
