People walk past a mosaic panel depicturing the liberation of Kyiv by Red Army in 1943 during the WWII at Kievskaya metro station in Moscow on March 1, 2022. - The decoration of the station, opened in 1953, was dedicated to the theme of friendship between the Russian and Ukrainian people in the frameworks of the USSR. Russian troops invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on March 1 described Russian shelling of his country's second city of Kharkiv as a war crime and said defending Kyiv - the capital of the country - from Moscow's army was a top priority.
