As a result of the full-scale invasion by Russian forces, 349 artists and 137 Ukrainian and foreign media professionals have been killed in Ukraine.
According to Ukrinform, the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine reported this information.
The ministry emphasizes that these figures not only reflect the scale of the losses but also serve as a reminder of the tragic chapters in Ukrainian history: just as the Stalinist regime destroyed a generation of Ukrainian artists in the 1920s and early 1930s, so too is Russia now deliberately destroying Ukraine’s cultural elite.
As reported by Ukrinform, film director Ihor Malakhov was killed on the front lines.
