Vice Prime Minister for humanitarian policy and Minister of Culture Tetiana Berezhna emphasized that Russia continues to deliberately destroy Ukrainian education, science, and culture.
The Taras Shevchenko National Museum is the main literary and artistic museum that preserves the memory of Shevchenko's life and work. The Ministry of Culture stressed that this is not the first destruction of the facility, as 10 in October 2022 a wave of explosions from a Russian missile strike previously damaged its building.
Overall, since the start of Russia's full-scale aggression in Ukraine, 2138 cultural heritage sites and 2640 cultural institutions have been damaged or destroyed.
By the way, a Russian drone during the Kyiv shelling also hit the Building of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, which is a national historic landmark.
