The Kyiv City Council has renamed Tankova Street in Shevchensky District after Ukrainian-born aircraft design engineer Ihor Sikorsky.
The decision was favored by 97 out of the total 100 registered deputies.
The decision was made at the request of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, which is planning to open a new office in this street in late October.
Sikorsky worked both in Ukraine and in the U.S.
