The first burials took place at the Military Memorial Cemetery: Zelensky showed a ceremony

At the National Military Memorial Cemetery (NVMK), 5 unknown military were buried for the first time.

Military burial ceremonial took place in the morning of August 29 in the presence of President Vladimir Zelensky, said “Interfax-Ukraine”.

Subsequently, the head of state showed ceremony in their Telegram channel.

With dignity and reverence, we escorted five soldiers whose names are not yet known, but their feat is forever in the history of our country, the history of our independence, “ – The message says.

The next burial of the soldiers whose names are not installed are scheduled for August 30.

At the same time, the locals protest against the burials at the NVMK, as they believe that the construction of the cemetery is threatened with an environmental disaster.

A resident of Markhalivka and the chairman of NGO “Markhalivka. Support” Alexander Davydenko in a comment “Espresso” stated that protesters began to be delayed by police.

From now on, the families of the dead may contact the NBMC administration for burial in the allotted sectors or columbaries.

On the territory of the NVMC the construction of the first starting complex of the first stage of the memorial cemetery was completed, including 6 thousand places of planned 120-130 thousand. Two columbariums were erected, a parking lot was arranged, engineering networks were laid, a road junction and an access road were built.

Also, the memorial cemetery is already open to visit.

It will be possible to get to the cemetery a special bus, which daily in the odd hours will leave the teremkov, and in the steam room – from Gatny. The bus will also be a guide that will tell people about the history of the memorial complex, as well as in general the history of Ukraine, writes “Public”.

At the NVMC it is possible to hide fallen servicemen-participants of hostilities (in particular, heroes of Ukraine, full cavaliers of orders), veterans of war (participants of hostilities, persons with disabilities as a result of war, warriors-peacekeepers), as well as prominent fighters for independence of Ukraine in the XX century.

We will remind, the question of the creation of a national military memorial cemetery emerged in 2022. At first they considered locations in Kiev, but later the government decided to choose a plot outside the capital, which caused indignation of some of the families of the dead.

In August 2023, the State Institution “National Military Memorial Cemetery” was established, which became the customer of construction.

In September, they held a tender for a sketch project: only one applicant – LLC “Engineering Holding” took part, and it was chosen by the winner.

In November 2023, Dniprovsky architect Sergei Derbin presented a sketch, which should be built by a memorial.

Nearvzi The winner of the next tender for the construction of the complex was the consortium of the contractors “Bilding.Yua” – the only participant of the competition. It includes AKAM company, which is associated with the sub -businessman Vadim Yermolaev.

Ermolaev in 2023 was introduced to the sanctions for conducting alcohol business in the occupied Crimea and payment of taxes to the budget of the Russian Federation in the amount of more than $ 6.5 million.

In March 2024, the government finally determined the place – in the Gatnen territorial community of Fastiv district of Kyiv region, near the village of Markhalivka and the South Cemetery (Vita Postva). The total area is more than 265 hectares, of which more than 120 hectares are allocated to the fields of honorary burials.

The choice of location outside the capital caused indignation not only in some families of the military but also in the locals: in April 2024, the residents of Markhalivka went to protests and came to the Ombudsman’s office.

People expressed concerns about the destruction of forest and groundwater contamination, which provide Markhalivka with drinking water from wells, because there There is no centralized water supply.

The government and the Ministry of Veterans assured that there were no dangers to the environment, and in June 2024 the project passed a state examination.

However, corruption risks continued to disturb the public, and the construction process was accompanied by scandals.

Architects and public figures statedthat the tender for construction was “sidelines”, and 15 days taken for the preparation of the project are impossible for fair competition. There was also a comment on Sergei Derbin, who was called “friendly to the President’s office as an architect.” For comparison, the US experience, where, during the creation of the Arlington Cemetery and Memorial Objects, architectural competitions lasted years and decisions were made in public.

On January 8, 2025, military, families of victims, public and cultural figures published an open appeal to President Zelensky. They called for a nationwide architectural competition, to stop the “unorder practices of behind -the -scenes decisions” and to make the process transparent. More than a thousand people signed the appeals.

The authors stressed that the construction of the country’s main military necropolis should meet European standards.

And recently, the media has been investigating possible corruption schemes for the purchase of crosses at NVMK.
