The United Nations’ cultural agency (UNESCO) said on Tuesday it had bolstered protective measures to preserve Ukraine’s endangered cultural heritage in light of Russia’s invasion of its neighbour.The first challenge is to mark cultural heritage sites and monuments and recall their special status as protected areas under international law,” UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay said in a statement.
To avoid deliberate or accidental damages, the agency is marking cultural sites and monuments in Ukraine with the distinctive “Blue Shield” emblem.
