Two plots of land with an area of ​​258.73 hectares and 7.96 hectares will be allocated for the arrangement of the cemetery in Gatny. The project coordinator is the Ministry of Veterans Affairs.

In October 2022, the KMDA was instructed to develop a site plan for the location of the National Military Memorial Cemetery in the tract “Lisa Hora”, however, activists and the government opposed.

Ultimately, the Kyiv City Council decided that a military cemetery where the defenders of Ukraine will be buried will be opened in Kyiv near the Babyn Yar tract – along Olena Teliga Street.
