    My response was towards taking down the soviet symbolism. For the longest time I didn’t know that the Motherland statue still had the hammer and sickle on her.

    The counter-offensive will take as long as it needs to take. They changed tactics and are currently focusing shaping operations, artillery, ammo dumps and headquarters.

      Ukraine is a democracy, so first this issue was discussed, and then voted upon by the citizens. Citizens indicated that they would prefer the trident on the shield.
      Technical expertise was conducted. It all took time.

      Smaller thing like Lenin’s monuments were easier to dismantle. This coat of arms is more tricky to take down, since this may influence the overall balance of the monument.
