Thus, religious figures call Kyiv authorities and city activists to comply with the norms of Ukrainian legislation, which obliges us to respect the religious beliefs of our fellow citizens with due respect.
The All-Ukrainian Council of Churches sent its protest against the “Saint Javelina” mural to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Mayor of Kyiv Vitaliy Klitschko.
The walls of high-rise buildings in the capital are not a private gallery, but a public space , therefore, when creating the latest art products on them, we ask you to comply with the norms of Ukrainian legislation, which obliges you to treat with due respect the religious beliefs of members of Ukrainian society. calls the Council of Churches.
The Rada emphasized that this mural had already begun to be painted on the house at 13 Aviakonstruktor Antonov Street in the Solomensky district of Kyiv without due public discussion.
