Ukraine's Odesa seethes as Russian bombardment destroys cherished heritage

Anger is growing in the Ukrainian port city of Odesa after Russian bombardment destroyed beloved historic sites, including the Transfiguration Cathedral. Odesa, with its conflicted history and cultural ties to both Ukraine and Russia, has been targeted by dozens of missiles and drones in the past week. The attacks have shattered the city's romantic past and deep roots in Ukrainian and Russian culture. Residents, like Tetiana Khlapova, who fled to Odesa to escape the war, now feel unsafe and are considering leaving the country. The recent strikes on Odesa's historic center have further fueled anger and defiance among the residents, who vow to resist Russian aggression.
