Russian troops have committed more than 331 war crimes against cultural heritage sites in Ukraine.

This war was started not only to kill Ukrainians — Russia also set out to destroy Ukraine’s history, culture, and pride in their ancestors. Russians are destroying Ukraine’s museums, galleries, and churches to wipe out the Ukrainian nation and its unique, proud culture.
