The Ukrainian minister named one of the targets of the enemy’s massive missile strike.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba said that today’s shelling of Odesa is, in particular, the response of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee.
Kuleba wrote about it on Twitter on Thursday, January 26. According to him, this was one of the goals of today’s massive Russian missile attack on Odesa, which caused massive power outages.
“This destruction is Putin’s response to the UNESCO committee, which included Odesa in the World Heritage List and put it under increased protection as an object of the World Heritage List in danger,” the minister emphasized.
