Уповноважений: війська держави-агресора цинічно знищують пам’ятки культурної спадщини українського народу

Together with the lives of civilians and the military, houses and infrastructure, the aggressor state’s troops are cynically destroying the cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people.

Objects that have been our pride for centuries, a mirror of high moral values   and respect for the historical past.

The interventionist razed to the ground the regional youth center-theater (former Shchors cinema) in Chernihiv, the local history museum in the village of Ivankov, Kyiv region, which housed more than two dozen paintings by Ukrainian artist Maria Pryimachenko, Vyshgorod State Historical and Architectural Reserve and dozens  others in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, Sumy, Kherson, Mykolayiv regions.

The destruction and damage to Ukraine’s tangible cultural heritage is a gross violation by Russia, as a member of UNESCO, of the protocols to the UNESCO Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property during Military Conflict.

We urge UNESCO member states to take all possible sanctions against the Russian Federation and approve a decision on a no-fly zone over our land.

Help bring PEACE back to peaceful Ukraine!
