The UNESCO mission has started its work in the Ukrainian city of Chernihiv. It will be ongoing for a week starting 30 October. Ukrainian and foreign experts will assess the damage done to the Ukrainian cultural heritage landmarks during the Russian missile attacks a year and a half ago during the offensive of the Russian army in the city of Chernihiv and the occupation of a part of Chernihiv Oblast.
Representatives from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) are in Chernihiv on an official mission to assess the damage to the city's cultural heritage from Russian attacks. The damaged sites include the 12th-century Piatnytska Church, St. Anthony's Caves, and the Chernihiv Regional Academic Music and Drama Theater.
