Thousands of servicemen march in downtown Kiev to mark Ukraine's Independence Day in August 24, 1991.
The troops carried rifles but, unlike last year, the parade did not feature any of the more powerful weaponry which could be viewed as sensitive as Ukraine is mired in a conflict between government forces and Russia-backed separatists.

Ukraine - Kyiv (Chapter)
Wearing its latest national capital’s hat, Kviv is elegant on the eating/drinking front, but prone to kitsch when it comes to urban development. It has a fair few must-sees, but its main asset is the residents – a merry, tongue-in-cheek and perfectly bilingual lot.
Coverage includes: sights, activities, tours, festivals & events, sleeping, eating, drinking & nightlife, entertainment, shopping, around Kyiv.
