En: The spring morning in Kyiv was filled with a festive mood. Uk: День Святої Трійці, коли вулиці уквітчують зеленими гілками, святкувався православними християнами по всьому місту. En: The Day of the Holy Trinity, when the streets are adorned with green branches, was celebrated by Orthodox Christians all over the city. Uk: У самому центрі, неподалік багатолюдної площі, стояло поліцейське відділення. En: In the very center, near the crowded square, stood a police station.
