As reported by Deputy Prime Minister for Humanitarian Policy – Minister of Culture Tetiana Berezhna, this concerns the inclusion in the register of 13 objects of cultural heritage of national significance located in the Donetsk region. Among them are the complex of buildings of the Sviatohirsk Lavra and the St. Nicholas Church in Druzhkivka.
