PHOTO REPORT: Scenes of Christmas in Ukraine's capital

Ukraine's capital was suitably decked out for the Christmas and New Year holidays as the streets of Kyiv were decorated with banners, bunting and Christmas trees. Seen in the photos on this page (clockwise from top right) are: Kyiv's central square, which features a religious display for Christmas; a billboard on the Khreshchatyk bearing best wishes for 1996 addressed to "Our whole family, our native Ukraine"; a sign inviting visitors to the New Year's Bazaar in the historic Podil section of the city; soldiers offering free hot tea to passers-by; booths at the bazaar; a banner extending holiday greetings from Podil residents.
