This week russia has again launched a mass attack on Ukraine, targeting multiple cities and places of cultural significance.
In particular, hitting Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the Dovzhenko film studio, the Art Museum in Kharkiv and Music Hall Dnipro - all in the space of a day. Targeting Ukraine’s cultural and historic heritage is an ongoing russian tactic to erase Ukraine’s history. Despite the russian attacks, UNESCO shamefully still failed to call out russia on the atrocities.
According to the Office of the Prosecutor General, from 2014 to 2026, Russia stole over 7.8 million cultural heritage objects from museums in the temporarily occupied territories and since 2022 russia has damaged or destroyed almost 2,000 cultural monuments in Ukraine.
Ukrainians urge the world not to be silent - attacks on civilian objects is a crime and the perpetrators must be held accountable. Ukraine has the right to self-defence, and we have a moral duty to arm Ukraine. Rally our call on this Saturday:
