The State Property Fund sold part of the administrative building of the former Kyiv Motorcycle Plant on 9 September after an online auction. Fourteen bidders pushed the price from ₴7.95 million to ₴114.11 million; Kyiv-registered Terra-2021 won the lot with beneficiary Vasyl Chornomaz. The nine-storey building at Harret Jones St, 8 sits in Shevchenkivskyi district near the city centre; the sale could lead to private redevelopment of a prominent industrial-era site.
From 25 August to 8 September Kyiv will partially restrict traffic on Velyka Vasylkivska Street and Taras Shevchenko Boulevard in Shevchenkivskyi district for planned roadworks by Kyivavtodor.

From 25 August to 8 September Kyivavtodor will partially restrict movement on Velyka Vasylkivska Street and Taras Shevchenko Boulevard in the Shevchenkivskyi district while crews repair asphalt and lower curb stones.

Both streets run through central Kyiv near major offices and cultural sites; allow extra time or pick an alternative route during the repair window.
The ninth Bouquet Kyiv Stage festival is taking place on the grounds of the National Sanctuary Sofia Kyivska in Kyiv under the theme “Armed with Beauty.” The program gathers Ukrainian and international artists, including a Lazarevska retrospective, an opera by Alla Zahaikevych, Chopin by Radoslav Sobchak and Israel’s Yogev Shetrit Trio. A rare multi-day classical and contemporary-arts series staged inside the Sofia Kyivska complex — easy to visit from central Kyiv and timed for mid‑August cultural nights.
From August 17 to 31, traffic on Zolotoustivska Street in Shevchenkivskyi district will be partially restricted while district road crews repair the asphalt surface. Works affect the section from Pavlivska Street to building No. 14; Kyivavtodor published a detour scheme and asks drivers to plan accordingly. A short, central stretch is affected — drivers and delivery services crossing Shevchenkivskyi district should allow extra time or use the published detour.
From 15 to 23 August 2026 Kyivavtodor will impose phased, partial traffic restrictions on European Square in the Shevchenkivskyi district for current carriageway repairs.

Central location: European Square sits near key city routes, so drivers and public-transport users should expect minor delays and plan alternative routes.
A 1950s photograph shared by the Telegram community 'KVIDO | Kyiv from Past to Future' and reported by OBOZ.UA shows the Lybid River flowing in a natural bed near today’s Kyiv Circus. The image captures the river before large sections were covered by concrete collector slabs. This visual glimpse helps Kyiv residents compare the river’s mid-20th-century appearance with its mostly buried, concreted course visible today.
Kyiv authorities say partial traffic restrictions will affect European Square and the north-eastern stretch of Khreshchatyk from 15–23 August while Kyivavtodor inspects and renews the road surface. Work will be staged without a full closure, but drivers and public transport should expect minor delays. This affects central Shevchenkivskyi district routes; plan around European Square if your trip crosses Khreshchatyk’s north-eastern end.
Kyiv police say a 46-year-old man fired several shots at a BMW in the Shevchenkivskyi district several days ago, damaging the trunk and rear window.

A street argument in a residential courtyard escalated to gunfire; police recovered a pneumatic Flobert-style revolver and opened a hooliganism case.
