In Kiev began to create a national military memorial cemetery per 100 hectares - Klitschko

Prolonged discussions on the arrangement of a military cemetery on Lysia Mountain have proven to be non -culling. The complex will be created in bull on almost 100 hectares. The Kyiv City Council launched the procedure for establishing a national military memorial cemetery in Bykivn. The mayor of Ukraine Vitaliy Klitschko announced this on Facebook on April 20. He noted that the state was responsible for ordering the cemetery.

Government representatives were determined by the relevant place for the arrangement. Klitschko emphasized that the capital will contribute to all ways to create a memorial of Ukrainian heroes. The Kyiv deputies had already supported the creation of a military cemetery on Lysia Mountain, but the public did not support the initiative during the discussion. "And today we took them, in fact, starting the procedure of organizing the memorial," Klitschko said.

The National Military Memorial Cemetery in Bykivna is currently planned. The city owns 8 hectares of land in this location. About 90 hectares, which are located nearby, is the state land. Therefore, the total area at which the memorial complex will be placed will be almost 100 hectares. We will remind, in January 2023 the KSCA stated that they intended to equip a national military cemetery on Lysia Mountain.

Deputies stressed that the discussions would proceed to specific actions to implement the initiative. The city authorities, he said, proposed to arrange a place for honorary burials near Babin Yar, which is located between the capital districts of Lukyanovka and Syrets. In July 2022, Klitschko had already made a statement about plans to equip a cemetery in the Ukrainian capital for the fallen heroes who died in the war with Russia. Deputies developed the appropriate project of land management.
