Iconic Kyiv nightclub Closer to shut down unless it finds grant

Kyiv’s Closer, one of the most successful nightclubs in Ukraine, will shut down because of the COVID-19 quarantine unless it finds a grant to cover its losses. 

“If we are not given a grant, we probably won’t last. It’s easier to close and then reopen in a year and a half or two,” co-owner Sergey Yatsenko told the Ukrayinska Pravda news website in an interview published on Sept. 11.
