Russia's latest assault on Kyiv, known as one of the most devastating attacks on the city since the start of the full-scale war, targeted cultural landmarks including the National Art Museum, the Chornobyl Museum, National Philharmonic, the Ukrainian National Academy of Music, the Yaroslav Mudryi National Library, and the Ukrainian House. The Foreign Ministry building also suffered minor damage for the first time since World War II. The destruction of cultural heritage in wartime can constitute a war crime and a crime against humanity. The perpetrators can be held accountable by any state, including Russia, where they may be too closely linked to the destruction. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has moved to protect Ukraine’s cultural heritage, placing dozens of sites under “enhanced protection” to signal their global significance and discourage attacks. However, despite these efforts, the country's cultural heritage remains under constant threat.
