Petro Sahaidachny, Bronze memorial statue in Podil district, Kyiv, Ukraine

The monument features Petro Sahaidachny mounted on horseback, cast in bronze, standing at a prominent intersection near Kontraktova Square.

Sahaidachny served as Hetman of the Zaporozhian Cossacks from 1616 to 1622, transforming irregular military formations into an organized army.

The memorial commemorates a central figure in Ukrainian military history who strengthened relations between Cossacks, Orthodox clergy, and peasantry.

The monument stands in a public space with information plaques detailing Sahaidachny's life and contributions to Ukrainian independence.

In 2022, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine declared Petro Sahaidachny as the patron saint of the Ukrainian armed forces.
