The state is responsible for its creation and the government has determined the location.

The city owns eight hectares of land in this area. And today we have allocated them, actually starting the procedure for organising the memorial. Nearby, about 90 hectares, which is state land."

Details: Klitschko states that the total area of the National Military Memorial Cemetery will reach almost 100 hectares.

He emphasised that the capital is ready to contribute to the creation of the Heroes' Memorial.
