Russian troops also destroyed a monument to the heroes of the Second World War.
Minister of Culture and Information Policy Oleksandr Tkachenko visited the dismissed ZSU city of Izyum in Kharkiv region. He assessed the extent of the destruction of the Polovtsian women – a unique historical monument that stood on Mount Kremenets near Izyum for more than a thousand years.
As the minister said in his Telegram channel, eight out of nine women have been preserved. One of them was destroyed by an almost direct hit of a projectile. In addition, Russian troops destroyed the monument to the heroes of the Second World War, which is located nearby.
“Together with local administrations, we will most likely evacuate Polovtsian women to Kharkiv and help the museum restore the roof in order to preserve the exposition,” said Tkachenko.
During the Russian occupation, Izyuma died at least a thousand of its residents, city council member Maksym Strelnyk said. The main causes of people's deaths were: lack of medical aid and medicines, enemy shelling, airstrikes.
According to the deputy, the occupiers tried to hide their crimes, so the information about the number of dead needs to be clarified.< /p> Related video
