Restoration works and measures to bring the sacred monuments order to celebrate the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Kyiv Rus are completed almost in all regions of Ukraine, culture minister of Ukraine Leonid Novokhatko told a briefing after the Cabinet’s meeting, ForUm correspondent reports.

As minister noted, large-scale restoration works have been carried out on some objects of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra Monastery, St. Sophia Cathedral, Cathedral of St Michael and St Elias Orthodox nunnery.
