The MCIP continues to record russian war crimes against cultural heritage. To date, 331 cases have been recorded. 

"There is nothing sacred about racists. In the short time since the statistics of recorded crimes of russians against our cultural heritage were updated, they fired missiles at the Jewish cemetery in Glukhiv. Do they really differ from  the Nazis who exterminated Jews 80 years ago? On the Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation, they completely destroyed the St. George's Skete of the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Lavra of the Moscow Patriarchate in Donetsk Region. In Odesa, a monument of architecture of the early XIX century - Vorontsov Palace was damaged. The occupiers again shelled Fr. Khortytsia, a sacred place for Ukrainians. Only barbarians can destroy our culture so inhumenly, ”said Oleksandr Tkachenko, Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine. 

It should be reminded that the destruction of cultural heritage sites is a war crime under the 1954 Hague Convention. 

Please, help record the crimes of russians against the Ukrainian cultural heritage with the help of the national platform culturecrimes.mkip.gov.ua. At the same time, please mind your own safety.
