NPR/Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, UNESCO says it’s verified damage to at least 53 cultural sites in the country.
The organization says it assesses damage reported in the media or by Ukrainian officials and has a system to monitor main Ukrainian sites and monuments via satellite imagery.
“Our experts continue to verify each report and it is feared that other sites will be added to this list,” a UNESCO spokesperson told NPR.
As of March 30, UNESCO said, the confirmed damaged sites, located in several regions across Ukraine, include 29 religious sites, 16 historic buildings, four museums and four monuments.
