Civilians in the Ukraine Try to Physically Protect Statues and Works of ArtThese Ukrainian civilians under attack from Russian forces are attempting to protect their country’s historical artifacts from damage.In the city of Odessa, workers have piled sandbags around the monument of Duc De Richelieu, an iconic 19th figure of the city. In Lviv, people are covering outdoor statues with plexiglass, canvas and fire-proof paddings. Museum staff in Kharkiv have also moved art pieces to safer places. From afar, UNESCO is aiding this preservation efforts through its “Blue Shield” emblem initiative. Sites with the Blue Shield emblem should be clear from being attacked as part of the 1954 Hague Convention, which protects cultural heritage during armed conflicts. Properties inscribed on the World Heritage list, such as the site of Kyiv: Saint-Sophia Cathedral and Related Monastic Buildings, Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, are considered a priority.Let’s just hope the Russian troops are decent enough to honor the agreement.#statue #Ukraine #UkraineWar
