The Ministry of Culture of Ukraine is considering different options of reconstruction of the composition, but there won’t be the demolition of the arch itself, said Yevhen Nyshchuk’s spokesman Yulia Datsenko.
The memorial to heroes of antiterrorist operation will be placed instead of the monument of Russian and Ukrainian workers, or even extended to “the real Pantheon of Heroes, who defended the sovereignty of Ukraine both now and always”.
The news about the dismantling of the Friendship of Nations Arch provoked a strong reaction among the population of the city, since the composition is one of the main attractions of Kiev.
