A street in Kyiv will soon be named after Golda Meir, Israel's envoy to Ukraine Michael Brodsky announced Thursday after meeting with the mayor of the Ukrainian capital Vitali Klitschko.
Meir, Israel's fourth prime minister, was born Golda Mabovitch in Kyiv in 1898 before her family fled due to anti-Semitic violence.
Ukraine is trying to "de-Russify" street names in the wake of the Russian invasion of the country.
During the war, Meir's words appeared in pro-Ukrainian memes and were even picked up by Ukrainian diplomats.
