The Kyiv District Administrative Court ruled in favor of the construction of the National Memorial Military Cemetery for soldiers. The Supreme Court also supported the project, highlighting its importance in honoring fallen warriors. This was reported by the administration of the memorial.
The Kyiv Ecological and Cultural Center initiated legal action against the Cabinet of Ministers, seeking to annul the resolution dated March 1, 2024, regulating the removal of green spaces during construction. The court dismissed the claim, affirming the legality of the government decision.
On September 24, the Supreme Court granted the request of the National Memorial Cemetery, halting the annulment of the Kyiv Regional State Administration's order. The court's ruling noted that halting the project could cause significant harm to society and the families of the deceased planned for burial at the memorial site.
“The National Military Memorial Cemetery is a space of memory and respect for those who gave their lives for Ukraine. Its construction is a collective duty towards the Heroes and their families,” the announcement stated.
In July 2025, it was reported that the National Military Memorial Cemetery had prepared the first 6,000 burial sites.
