Why is it interesting? Over five hundred cultural heritage sites, including monuments, have been damaged or destroyed due to Russian aggression. Russians have already conducted hundreds of archaeological digs in the occupied territories and are planning to have more. Thus, Ukrainian people are being deprived of those layers of culture and history that have not been thoroughly studied and are now lost forever. The occupiers have looted the collections of museums in the occupied territory, such as the Kherson Local History Museum or the Kamyana Mohyla (Stone Tomb) in Zaporizhia, and are also unearthing valuables from the ground along the Tauride highway and in Chersonesos Tavriya Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The event participants will hold a conversation about the scale of the existing losses and how to protect cultural heritage and bring Russia and its agents to justice for these crimes. |
