The Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra will be restored after the Russian strike. The government will provide the necessary funding for the restoration work. A decision will be made as early as today. This was reported by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko on social media on Monday, according to UNN.
The Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra will be restored. (...) The restoration of the Dormition Cathedral and the necessary funding for it were discussed with the President today. The government will provide the necessary funding for the restoration work. A decision will be made today on the urgent allocation of funds from the reserve fund for the conservation of the damaged roof and its subsequent restoration,
According to the Prime Minister, "thanks to the professional actions of our rescuers, the fire following the Russian drone strike has been extinguished." "They tried to destroy the Lavra for a second time — just as in 1941. Fortunately, we will not have to rebuild the Ukrainian shrine from its foundations," she indicated.
"We expect a reaction from international organizations to this latest barbaric step by Russia. I have instructed the Vice Prime Minister for Humanitarian Policy Tetiana Berezhna to intensify this work, including by involving the resources of the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Fund," Svyrydenko stated.
Svyrydenko also noted that since early morning she has been receiving "numerous messages from representatives of Ukrainian businesses and patrons who want to join the restoration of the shrine." "Thank you for our shared values and your readiness to help," she noted.
