As missile strikes in Ukraine this week damaged libraries, museums and universities, Ukraine says repeated Russian attacks on cultural heritage amount to a “war crime” that have caused losses of hundreds of millions of euros. Among Ukrainians, the fight to preserve cultural heritage continues.
Residents in Ukraine awoke to loud blasts on Monday morning as Russian missiles struck cities across the country, in some cases for the first time in months. In Kyiv, rather than striking military targets, missiles fell in busy civilian areas; one hit a glass bridge, formerly popular with tourists due to its panoramic views of the city, another fell next to a children’s playground.
