The National Museum of Ukraine has opened a fundraising campaign to comply with a court decision and dismantle the Desiatynna (Tithe) Church located on the museum's premises. As announced on the institution's official Facebook page, museum officials require 772 thousand hryvnias for the demolition and removal of debris.

The museum justifies its actions by stating that during wartime, it cannot rely on government funding to implement court decisions.

"It would be very symbolic to complete this cleanup by Easter! Therefore, we ask all concerned citizens to support the campaign. Let's protect our history and culture together!" museum workers urge.

As reported by the UOJ, a group of deputies of the Verkhovna Rada raised the issue with the Minister of Justice regarding the implementation of a court decision on the demolition of Tithe Monastery of the UOC in Kyiv.
