Today is Ukrainian Independence Day. After the country gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, its capital city of Kyiv grew steadily. While the city’s population has only increased slightly in the past 30 years (from 2.6 million in 1991 to 2.9 in 2021), its housing and infrastructure has been modernized and expanded, gradually sprawling outward from the Dnieper River. Today marks the 31st Ukrainian Independence Day and six months since the Russian invasion of the country began.Click the image below to watch a Timelapse video on Instagram.
