“This place is known abroad for being included in the UNESCO World Heritage List,” the statement said.
As Deputy Chairman of the Kyiv City State Administration Alexey Reznikov said during the presentation, “Sofia of Kiev now does not act as a temple - it is a museum. Therefore, we will not violate any religious feelings of believers.”
