Russia has been bombing the Ukrainian port of Odessa on the Black Sea for days and destroying grain warehouses there, under the pretext that there are military targets there.
In his video message distributed in the evening, Selenskyj accused Russia of terrorizing the people of Odessa. He announced that he would punish Russia for this.
These images show the extent of the attacks:
In addition, according to information from UNESCO, the Russian attacks damaged several museums within the World Heritage Site. According to a statement from the UN Organization for Culture, Science and Education in Paris, the Archaeological Museum, the Naval Museum and the Literature Museum are the main victims.
The historic center of Odessa was included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage in Danger due to the Russian War in January 2023. According to UNESCO, which strongly condemns the attacks, damage to 270 Ukrainian cultural sites has been reported since the beginning of the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022. UNESCO has not yet published official images of the damage.
