Ukraine's Culture and Foreign Ministries will appeal to the international
organizations over the destruction in the Russian city of #Orenburg of an
architectural monument, the house where prominent Ukrainian poet #Taras_Shevchenko lived in exile, Deputy Premier and Culture Minister Viacheslav Kyrylenko
said.
"Today the culture ministry will issue an official statement, besides,
together with the foreign ministry we will appeal to the relevant international
organizations and UNESCO in order to give the international assessment for the
actions of the Russian Federation," Kyrylenko said at a Cabinet's meeting
on Wednesday.
The minister recalled that Shevchenko lived in the ruined house while in
exile that the Russian tsar sentenced him to. "Despite the house in
Orenburg is the architectural monument of the national importance and has an
appropriate protected registration number, it was completely destroyed and an
infrastructure facility was built on its site, namely parking place for a
private bank. This is a violation of not only the Russian domestic law, but of
all international norms," the minister stressed.
