A UNESCO member since 1954, Russia has been deliberately and systematically destroying Ukraine’s cultural heritage during the full-scale war. They destroy even those cultural monuments that, it would seem, should be revered, considering the narratives that Russians are guided by — for example, churches of the Russian Orthodox Church or monuments to soldiers of the Second World War. In almost two months of confrontation, the occupiers destroyed or damaged more than 160 cultural sites, and these are just the documented cases.
