“Kyiv of Mine” is a documentary that began filming in 2018 as a portrait of modern life in Ukraine’s capital. Initially focused on Kyiv’s growing community of innovators, artists, and entrepreneurs, the film sought to challenge outdated stereotypes about Ukraine by highlighting the people shaping its creative and technological landscape.

When Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, the story inevitably changed. What began as a film about a city redefining itself became a record of resilience — following how ordinary people adapted as their lives were suddenly reshaped by war.

One of Ukraine’s most elusive businessmen has added a long-delayed construction project on Kyiv’s central Khreshchatyk street to his ever-expanding portfolio.

Maksym Krippa, who has splashed out on several landmark properties in central Kyiv during wartime, secured 100% ownership of Ukrainian development firm Graal LLC on March 7 via his investment fund ARS Capital, according to state registry records.

The buyout comes just under a month after Ukraine’s Anti-Monopoly Committee gave ARS the go-ahead to purchase Graal on Feb. 12.

Born into serfdom on March 9, 1814, Taras Shevchenko became the primary architect of modern Ukrainian identity. Nearly 200 years later, his words — calling for the “breaking of heavy chains” — remain a cornerstone of Ukrainian identity as the country defends its sovereignty against Russian aggression.
