Minister of Culture and Information Policy Oleksandr Tkachenko noted that Ukraine sent a letter to UNESCO to save the Hagia Sophia of Kiev from the threat of destruction.

" They seek to destroy the entire Ukrainian history, trying to appropriate it for themselves,"

The minister stressed: "

A few tens of meters from the declared target of the bombing is the Hagia Sophia with mosaics and frescoes of the 11th century.

The unique architectural monument is included in the List of World Heritage Sites.

" We call on the world community to intervene in the situation and help break the silence of UNESCO in order to save the Hagia Sophia from the threat of destruction! "

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation claims that it is delivering pinpoint strikes on military targets, but in fact Russia has unleashed a full-scale war in Ukraine, for the sixth day people have been forced to hide in bomb shelters, Russian shells are flying through the windows of residential buildings, hundreds of civilians have died, including small children.

The Ukrainian army adequately rebuffs the enemy: hundreds of units of military equipment of the Russian Federation have already been destroyed on our soil, more than 5 thousand Russian soldiers have died, more than 200 have been taken prisoner.
