A peaceful white-walled village in southern Spain has changed its name to Ukraine in solidarity with those caught up in the conflict more than 4,000 km away. On a sign at a roundabout at the village's entrance, Ukraine has replaced Fuentes de Andalucia and the country's blue and yellow flag has been painted alongside.
Streets have been renamed City of Kiev, Odessa and Mariupol in the village of more than 7,100 inhabitants east of Seville. "The main objective is to raise awareness about the conflict in Ukraine but also about where countries are at war in current times," Francisco Martinez said as he stood in City of Kiev street.Villagers had also raised $3,780 within two days towards a planned refugee centre.The village wants to offer homes to up to 25 refugees at the centre or with families."The people of Fuentes are very proud of what we are doing," he said.
