This is the main "Independence Square" in downtown Kyiv. The tall white statue is for their independence. The large New Year tree was obviously sponsored by Milka Chocolate because there were logos all over it, but you can't tell that from the distance. I didn't believe there was a real tree underneath but found online that there is a framework that is loaded with 480 fir trees underneath all the lights! Notice the "falling" lights on the real living tree to the right. I especially like the people strolling by--you get a good look at Ukrainians on a winter evening.
