Russia bombs listed building in central Kharkiv
Russia attacked Kharkiv with glide bombs on Oct. 28, hitting the Derzhprom building in Freedom Square, Ukrainian MP Maria Mezentseva reported via Telegram.
Included in the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, Derzhprom was constructed in the 1920s and is considered the most famous example of Soviet Constructivist style.
Meanwhile, Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov described Derzhprom as an architectural treasure of all Ukraine.
“It’s truly horrifying to see the strike on the Derzhprom building,” said Terekhov.
“If we look back at World War II, even [Nazi Germany's dictator Adolf] Hitler couldn’t do what the Russians have done.”
He added that residential buildings, which are also part of Kharkiv's historical city center, were damaged.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
