Museum specialists, technical services, and police are working at the site to document the damage and conduct an initial assessment of losses. Despite the damage, the museum continues to operate. A Russian strike on Kyiv has damaged the Hall of Glory at the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War, located at the base of the Motherland Monument, Ukrainian officials said on Tuesday. Deputy Prime Minister for Humanitarian Policy and Culture Minister Tetiana Berezhna said the attack hit a site commemorating Ukraine’s fight against aggression in the 20th century. “Both symbolic and cynical at the same time: the aggressor state has struck a place of memory dedicated to the struggle against aggression in the 20th century, repeating those crimes in the 21st,” Berezhna shared. https://lnkd.in/eU7imWMx
