Tragic Loss: The Story of the Ukrainian Language Monument in New York.

A monument shaped like the Ukrainian letter 'Ї' was very popular in New York City. It was on Brighton Beach and many people visited it every day.

The city decided to move the monument to a park for a short time. They needed to fix the sewage system in that area.

People were sad when they found out the monument was being moved. They didn't know that it would be gone forever.

The truck carrying the monument had an accident on the way to the park. No one was hurt, but the monument was completely destroyed.

The police said the monument cannot be fixed. The city will talk about putting up a new monument in 2025.
