Government Building, Kyiv

Ukrainian Government Building (Ukrainian: Будинок Уряду, romanized: Budynok Uriadu) is located in the center of Kyiv on Hrushevsky Street in the vicinity of Verkhovna Rada building.

The lower stories of the building are faced with big uncut blocks of a Tulchyn labradorite, while socle and portals with a polished granite.

The building was first designed on the demand of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD), while the government was supposed to be located in the building that today is occupied by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine at Mykhailiv Square.

However, construction plans were changed and refused for the building to be located in "High City" district (see Old Kyiv).

Decision to change location has been made because the Government Building together with National Bank of Ukraine and Cabinet of Ministers Club headquarters compose a shared court with access to Anti-Air Defense safety bunker.
