At a meeting of the cultural Cabinet of Ministers, a number of important decisions were made in the field of cultural heritage protection under the conditions of full-scale war. This was reported by the head of the government, Yuliia Svyrydenko, according to UNN.

It is noted that it is now possible to determine individual regimes for the use of territories around monuments — specifically regarding height limits and construction conditions. The new resolution allows for determining the sizes of protection zones that will best contribute to the protection of monuments while simultaneously allowing reconstruction and new construction without harming cultural heritage.
The mechanism of the "eRecovery" (єВідновлення) program has been improved for damaged and destroyed cultural heritage sites
A unified inspection procedure and a simplified package of documents for carrying out work will apply to monuments. A mechanism has also been introduced for recognizing a monument as destroyed as a result of the war, so that residents of such buildings can receive a housing certificate within the "eRecovery" program.
Russia is purposefully destroying monuments, museums, and cultural institutions, trying to erase historical memory and the connection between generations. Therefore, the protection of cultural heritage and support for culture are strategically important for Ukraine during the war, Svyrydenko concluded.
