Twenty cultural heritage sites in Ukraine have been added to the International List of Cultural Values protected by UNESCO, as reported by Gunduz Mamedov, an expert in national and international criminal law. This development comes after Ukraine's initiative was supported by the Committee of the Second Protocol to the Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict.

Mamedov emphasizes the importance of having specialists in Ukraine who can effectively safeguard cultural heritage, particularly in the front zones. This protection involves both emergency measures and the potential evacuation of valuable artifacts.

According to his information, a working group within the Territorial Defense Forces is currently focused on these efforts to safeguard Ukraine's cultural heritage during times of war.
