The UN Resident Coordinator in Ukraine, Denise Brown, arrived in Odesa. Together with the mayor of Odesa and the head of the military administration, she inspected the Transfiguration Cathedral, which was damaged by a Russian missile on 23 July.
This was reported by the Odesa City Council, Censor.NET reports.
"This is another clear violation of international humanitarian law, where civilians and civilian infrastructure that is clearly destroyed are not part of the war. And buildings like this cultural heritage site are key to Ukrainian identity and culture," Brown said.
According to her, the cathedral is one of the UNESCO protected sites, so it is protected by the United Nations.
"Earlier, I spoke about justice and accountability, and it is important to document these attacks and the consequences of these attacks in order to bring them to justice," the UN Resident Coordinator in Ukraine added.
