Announced in 1998, the Kiev Ukraine Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is under construction. Located in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, It will be the 11th LDS temple in Europe and the first located in the former Soviet Union. The expected completion date is late 2009.[1]
The plans to build a temple in Ukraine were announced by the LDS Church on 20 July 1998.[2] However, the project was delayed for nine years as the church encountered difficulty in obtaining the three to four hectares of land it wanted for the project.[3] On 23 June 2007 ground was broken for the construction project by Paul B. Pieper, who was then the first counselor in presidency of the Europe East Area of the church.[4]
