"UNESCO Condemns Russian Attack on Odesa World Heritage Site"

UNESCO strongly condemns the Russian attack on the buffer zone of the Odesa World Heritage Site, which has caused damage to several museums of cultural significance. This attack is the second violation of the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict in the area, following the destruction of a historic building in Lviv. UNESCO expresses support for the people of Odesa and calls for a cessation of attacks on cultural property.
