Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and his wife Maryna Poroshenko took part in the opening of the Theatre on Podol October 9, the president's press service reports.
The head of state emphasized that today’s opening is a unique phenomenon as the Theater in Podol was built at the cost of a patron of arts. “In the last three years, a lot of things have been made for the first time in Ukraine and in Kyiv,” the president said, noting the importance of the given event for the cultural development of Ukrainians, especially in conditions of Russian aggression.
