Dansk Erhverv wants to help with the reconstruction of St. Peter's Monastery

Dansk Erhverv, a prominent Danish business organization, has announced its readiness to support the reconstruction of the St. Peter's Monastery (Petjerska Lavra) in Kyiv, Ukraine. The historic monastery was struck by a Russian airstrike overnight, leading to a significant fire.

The organization stated in a press release that it is prepared to offer its expertise, particularly drawing from the experience gained during the extensive reconstruction efforts of Copenhagen's own historic Børsen building, which was devastated by fire on April 16, 2024.

“

It is clear that we at Dansk Erhverv are very affected when we hear about tragedies like the bombing of Petjerska Lavra.

Brian Mikkelsen, CEO of Dansk Erhverv, expressed the organization's deep concern over the attack on the monastery. "It is clear that we at Dansk Erhverv are very affected when we hear about tragedies like the bombing of Petjerska Lavra," Mikkelsen said in the press release. "We are very happy to help where we can, and of course offer our expertise and experience to the authorities in Ukraine who may need it."

The offer of assistance underscores a spirit of international solidarity in the face of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with Danish businesses looking to contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage sites impacted by the hostilities.
