🇺🇦 Sites in Kyiv and Lviv have been added to the UNESCO List of World Heritage in Danger, — The Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy:

🔹 On September 15, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, which met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, approved the inscription of the sites "Kyiv: St. Sophia Cathedral and Adjacent Monastic Buildings, Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" and "Ensemble of the Historic Center of Lviv" on the List of World Heritage in Danger of Destruction caused by russian aggression.

🔹 The inclusion of Ukrainian sites on this List provides the state with additional legal arguments to collect evidence of russian aggression against Ukraine's cultural heritage.

🔹 In general, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee notes that in order to fully guarantee the protection of the outstanding universal value of a site, the optimal conditions are no longer met and it is potentially endangered by war. These sites are also vulnerable to shock waves caused by russian bombing.
