Kyiv residents collected about 54,000 for tree treatment in one day

In Kyiv, a 90-year-old chestnut tree near the Landscape Alley on the territory of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine can be cut down within several days.

On September 12, the general director of the museum, Fedir Androschuk, agreed to keep the tree if it is treated, but at the moment he has announced that he will sue the "Kyivzelenbuda" association in court if the chestnut is not destroyed, actress Olga Sumska reports on Facebook.

Sumska said that she tried to get an appointment with Androschuk, but he refused to meet. He said he would communicate only through lawyers and official letters.

She emphasized that Kyiv residents raised about 54,000 per day for the treatment of the tree. In addition, arborist Volodymyr Vetrogradskyi agreed to treat several more trees on the territory of the museum free of charge.

"The Museum of the History of Ukraine was created primarily for citizens and guests of the capital," she wrote Sumy

As you know, the destruction of the tree was prevented on September 12 by biologist Anastasia Hlushchenko, MPs Ksenia Semenova and Yevgenia Kuleba, as well as Sumy and Vetrogradskyi.

"A rather shameful and cynical example of interaction. I am not surprised by similar situations in Ukraine," commented the Vetrograd post on the social network.

He emphasized that on scandalous situations systematically occurred on the territory of the museum, in particular:

  • construction of the church-MAF of the Moscow Patriarchate;
  • the famous archaeological excavations of the foundation of the Tithe Church;
  • a branch falling from a tree on a foreign tourist due to the lack of timely maintenance of the tree;
  • destruction of trees for the same reason for "reinsurance".

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Kyiv near the Zhytomyrska metro station, unknown people sawed down two two-hundred-year-old oak trees, which were the remnants of a primeval forest.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, 10 trees were cut down in Kyiv in the yard of a high-rise building on Sichovyh Striltsiv Street, 55, in the Shevchenkiv district in the Kudryavets area, in order to arrange a parking lot.
