The rashist occupiers continue to destroy the cultural heritage on TOT Crimea

The message came from the inhabitants of the peninsula in the city of Yalta the building of the city's chief architect Mykola Krasnov was demolished.

It was he who designed the construction of the Livadia Palace, the Yalta Cathedral of Alexander Nevsky, the Dulbert Palace in Mishor, Yusupov Palace, Taras Shevchenko Cinema in Simferopol, Roman-style Kharaks Estate, Gagarina Palace in Utes, a total of 60 original constructions.

According to media reports, the so-called "Crimean branch of the all-russian Community for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments" in April 2022 handed over to the occupation administration on the peninsula documents on the historical and cultural value of the building.

The building survived the 1927 earthquake, the 1941 bombing and was destroyed by the rashists in 2022.

The destruction of the cultural heritage of the TOT Crimea is a violation of Articles 4 and 5 of the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, which requires the occupying power to respect, protect and preserve cultural property in the occupied territories.

I appeal to the UN Commission for Investigation Violations of Rights  people during the russian military invasion of Ukraine to take these into account facts of crimes and violations of human rights in Ukraine.
