It is on a proposal from MDG that the city council will discuss and vote on the name change of the roughly 1.5 kilometer long street stretch, writes Aftenposten.
– The proposal was positively received by everyone in the committee meeting this week. Now the other parties will discuss the proposal, and we hope that as many as possible will support it, says group leader for MDG in the city council, Maja K. Rynning.

If the proposal is adopted, the address and street sign on the fence of the Russian embassy in Oslo will be changed from Drammensveien 74 to Ukrainas gate.
– We do not yet know if it is technically possible. But I reckon that the committee is in favor of calling it the Street of Ukraine, so you have to take technicalities associated with a name change up afterwards, says city representative Karin Beate Theodorsen (SV).
