Amble down the Khreschatyk any given afternoon and take in the atmospheric energy of Kiev's pulsating heart. It's been the venue of protests, parades and speeches from eminent leaders since its very birth. Putting aside the international chains strung down its rim; this main artery of Kiev is perhaps about as Ukrainian as it gets. Sample delights in the chocolate store at the far end, owned by the current president - Petro Poroshenko. The chocolates are named after the middle section of his surname 'Roshen' and consequently was referenced as the Candy tycoon before coming into power in 2014. #streets #ukraine #kiev #souvenirs #clothes #market #groceries #gifts #souvenirs
