Klitschko asks government to transfer Hostynnyi Dvir to Kyiv so city can begin emergency repairs AI

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has called on the national government to transfer ownership of Hostynnyi Dvir to the city, arguing that municipal control would allow Kyiv to start anti‑emergency stabilization work to prevent further destruction of the historic building. (Reported 14 Aug 2026.) Hostynnyi Dvir is a prominent heritage building in central Kyiv; bringing it into city ownership would let municipal authorities commission urgent stabilization and oversee restoration planning. Residents and visitors should expect announcements about stabilization timelines, possible site closures or scaffolding, and future public consultations on the building's reuse.
