EU condemns Moscow’s attack on UNESCO-protected Odesa

The relevant statement was made by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell on Twitter, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Continuous Russian missile terror on UNESCO-protected Odesa constitutes yet another war crime by the Kremlin, demolishing also the main Orthodox Cathedral – a world heritage site. Russia has already damaged hundreds of cultural sites, trying to destroy Ukraine,” Borrell wrote.

A reminder that, on the night of July 23, 2023, Russia fired at least five types of missiles at the Odesa region: Kalibr, Oniks, Kh-22, Iskander-K and Iskander-M. As a result, one person was reported killed and 22 injured, including four children.

One of Russian missiles destroyed the central altar of the Transfiguration Cathedral in Odesa.
