The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has appealed for greater protection of Ukraine's cultural heritage sites amid the Russian invasion.
The Daily Sabah reported Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO's director-general, saying in a statement that; "We must safeguard the cultural heritage in Ukraine, as a testimony of the past but also as a catalyst for peace and cohesion for the future, which the international community must protect and preserve."
"The first challenge is to mark cultural heritage sites and monuments and recall their special status as protected areas under international law.”
Since the start of the Russian invasion, UNESCO has been in constant contact with Ukrainian institutions to assess the situation and strengthen the protection of cultural heritage sites.
Ukraine is proud to have seven sites on the UNESCO list, six of which are cultural sites and one of which is a natural site.
