The Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine continues to record damage to cultural infrastructure in Ukraine as a result of full-scale russian aggression. Thus, as of November 25, 2024, 2,130 cultural infrastructure facilities (including cultural institutions subordinated to the MCSC and other central executive bodies) were damaged, excluding cultural heritage sites. Of these, 374 were destroyed (17.6%).

In general, the greatest losses and damage to cultural infrastructure occurred in Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk regions.

The largest group of cultural infrastructure facilities that were damaged or destroyed were clubs (48.2% of the total number of cultural facilities that were damaged).

In total, the following were affected:

• clubs - 1,027;
• libraries - 759;
• art education institutions - 164;
• museums and galleries - 121;
• theaters, cinemas and philharmonic societies - 39;
• nature reserves - 7;
• parks, zoos - 9;
• circuses - 4.

Clubs, libraries, museums, and theaters were destroyed in 297 territorial communities (20.2% of the total number of consolidated communities) in Vinnytsia (3.2%), Dnipropetrovsk (20%), Donetsk (87%), Zhytomyr (17%), Zakarpattia (2%), Zaporizhzhia (40, 3%), Kirovohrad (2%), Kyiv (28.6%), Luhansk (46.2%), Lviv (5.5%), Mykolaiv (44.2%), Odesa (9.9%), Poltava (4%), Sumy (62.7%), Kharkiv (58.9%), Kherson (43%), Khmelnytskyi (17%), Cherkasy (6.1%), Chernihiv (49%) regions and the city of Kyiv.

As of the end of November 2024, almost the entire territory of Luhansk and significant parts of Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Kherson regions are still under temporary occupation, making it impossible to accurately calculate the number of cultural institutions affected as a result of the hostilities and occupation.
