Pavilion “Kviti-Kvity Ukrainy” in Kiev is for sale for $5 million, according to an announcement on OLX.
“Well-wishers”, who tried to destroy “Kviti Ukrainy”, put the building-monument for sale. In the description of the proposal there is no important information – the object in the courts and belongs to the cultural heritage of Kiev”, – wrote in Facebook a member of the public council at the Podolsk district state administration of Kiev, the former Director of “UkrNIIprojectrestravratiya” Olga Rutkovskaya.
She stressed that the sale of the pavilion is possible only with the approval of the Department of cultural heritage of the Kyiv City State Administration.
Initiative group “Zberegty Kviti Ukrainy” supported the idea of selling the building, taking into account the scandalous attempt of its owners to reconstruct the pavilion without saving its architectural elements.
“We are ready to support the new owner in the dialogue with the community and the building’s architect Nikolay Levchuk in facilitating a new thoughtful reconstruction project. We are also ready to transfer to the new owner all our preliminary ideas about the possible models of using the building,” the group says.
In his turn, Alexey Erinchak, the founder of Sens bookstore-cafe, put forward a proposal to buy the building from the owners through public crowdfunding and to open offices for urbanists and a bookstore in the pavilion.
In 2021, the pavilion’s developer reportedly began dismantling part of the building, causing a public outcry. Later in August 2021 the educational pavilion “Kviti Ukrainy” received the status of a discovered object of cultural heritage of Kiev and also was included in the register of state monuments of the Ministry of Culture.
According to Opendatabot, the owners of “Kviti Ukraini” are Avialine JSC, the main shareholders of which are Alexey Pyshny and Andrey Skalozub.

Reportedly, the head of state stressed that as a result of Russia’s purposeful undermining of the Kakhovska HPP dam, which is the largest ecocide crime of modern times, the risks to the safety of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant have significantly increased. Therefore, a quick and decisive reaction of the international community to this audacious terrorist act is urgently needed.
Zelenski positively assessed the presence of the agency’s inspectors at the Zaporizhzhia NPP illegally occupied by Russia and welcomed Raphael Grossi’s intention to personally visit the plant to assess the situation on site.
The head of state once again stressed that the only way to prevent a nuclear incident at the Zaporizhzhia NPP is its complete demilitarization, de-occupation and restoration of control over the plant by Ukraine.
According to the president’s press service, during the meeting the sides discussed specific steps that need to be taken to minimize risks and prevent incidents at the Zaporizhzhya NPP, as well as ways of cooperation with the IAEA to this end.
Zelenskiy supported Rafael Grossi’s proposal to send a group of IAEA experts to Ukraine to assess the consequences of the explosion at the Kakhovska HPP and to prepare proposals on specific directions of assistance in overcoming them. He noted that this mission would be fully assisted by the Ukrainian institutions involved.
