Russia is deliberately destroying our cultural heritage, our culture. If we are talking about the data of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy, then as of today we are not talking about dozens of monuments. As of today, we are talking about at least 1086 cultural heritage sites that have been damaged or completely destroyed as a result of the aggression. In addition, more than 2,000 cultural infrastructure facilities, including museums and club events, have also been damaged or destroyed, i.e., suffered losses. That is, the damage is measured in thousands of objects,

If we are talking about monuments that have the status of UNESCO, that have the status of national importance, we managed, with the help of international partners, to bring 25 sites under enhanced protection last year,
