The image displays the Taras Shevchenko Monument located in Taras Shevchenko Park, Kyiv, Ukraine, during nighttime. The central monument is significantly fortified; its main pedestal is encased in light-colored protective panels, possibly wood or composite material, secured with vertical darker strips. The top portion of the statue is partially visible above this covering, also appearing to be obscured. The base of the monument is encircled by two rows of light-colored sandbags. Faded white text, "ВОЛЮ ЗАХИСНИКАМ ЧАЕС" (Freedom to the defenders of Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant), is visible on the protective panels, while "ОСАП" is spray-painted in blue on the stone base directly above the sandbags. Artificial lighting illuminates the scene. To the monument's left, a cluster of green foliage is illuminated by a multi-globed streetlamp. In the background, on the right side, a multi-story building with a yellow lower facade features arched windows and an upper section with rectangular windows, some of which are illuminated. Two indistinct figures are visible in the far right background, seated in a dimly lit green area. The foreground consists of a dark-colored paved area with two steps leading up to the monument's base. The sky above is dark.
