The Arch of Freedom of the Ukrainian people (Ukrainian: Арка свободи українського народу, romanized: Arka svobody ukrainskoho narodu) is a monument in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. It was opened on 7 November 1982, amidst the celebration of the 1,500th Anniversary of Kyiv, to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the USSR and the "reunification of Ukraine with Russia in 1654". (The Pereiaslav Agreement as it was known in the Soviet Union).The sculpture under the arch, which depicted a Ukrainian worker and a Russian worker standing together, was dismantled in April 2022 amidst the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
