Announced in 1998, the Kyiv Ukraine Temple is the 134th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Located in Kyiv (Kiev), the capital of Ukraine, it is the 11th LDS temple in Europe and the first located within the territory of the former Soviet Union. The temple was scheduled to be open to the public for a two-week open house from 7–21 August 2010.[2] The temple was dedicated on 29 August by church president Thomas S. Monson[3]
The plans to build a temple in Ukraine were announced by the LDS Church on 20 July 1998.[4] 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.[5] 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.[6]
