Context
In 2018, Ukraine held an international competition for the Memorial's designs. However, according to media reports, it was organized without a full package of baseline data. This created legal and technical contradictions.
Furthermore, other bureaucratic restrictions existed. These include the status of the protected zone, the seizure of the land plot, licensing conflicts, etc. The aforementioned restrictions de facto froze the construction of the memorial.
The seizure of the relevant land plot was imposed within the framework of criminal proceedings regarding the events of the Revolution of Dignity.

To ensure the full-scale construction of the Museum, it is necessary to eliminate the aforementioned restrictions, Ukrainian media report.
As a reminder
In February 2026, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted as a basis a bill that cancels a number of licensing procedures for the construction of the Museum of the Revolution of Dignity, which had been frozen at one time due to legal conflicts.
