More than 80 MPs signed an appeal to the President of Ukraine to stop illegal construction on the left bank near the Patriarchal Cathedral of the UGCC.

This was reported by MP of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc Natalia Novak during her speech in Parliament, Ukrinform reports.

“More than 80 MPs signed an appeal to the President of Ukraine concerning illegal building at the Patriarchal Cathedral of the UGCC ... This is an appeal to the President regarding gross disregard of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine,” said Novak.

She added that the Kyiv City Council illegally changed the purpose of land near the Patriarchal Cathedral of the UGCC.

“The decision of city council illegally changed its intended purpose. And the main urban construction documents, the master plan - they were amended with no justification. That is why now these lands are lands of the water fund,” the MP said.

Novak said that today, despite the fact that the UGCC, the Ministry of Environment and the community won two trials, which revoke the decision of the Kyiv City Council to decrease the water-retaining zones of the Dnieper, the construction continues.

“Therefore, we appeal to the President of Ukraine to stop illegal construction, and the termination of the illegal construction on the left bank is an example of restoring r a lawful state of affairs. More than 80 MPs put their signatures,” she said.
