Kharkov City Council is suing the government in Kyiv over monuments
The Kharkov City Council filed a lawsuit against the government with the District Administrative Court of Kyiv (DAC), PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The press service of the court reported this.
The court is asked to oblige the Cabinet of Ministers to approve the Unified National Register of World War II monuments. The defendants in the lawsuit, in addition to the government, are third parties - the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, as well as the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance.
“The plaintiff, in particular, asks the court to recognize as illegal the inaction of the Cabinet of Ministers, which consists in the failure to approve the Unified National Register of Monuments of the Second World War of 1939-1945, as provided for by the relevant law,” the OASC noted.
They added that the issue of opening proceedings on this claim is currently being decided.
Let us recall that earlier Kharkov mayor Gennady Kernes several times restored the bust of Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov, vandalized by the right. At the same time, the Institute of National Memory insisted on the need to dismantle the bust in accordance with the law on decommunization.
