UNESCO condemned Russian missiles attacks on the center of Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Odesa which damaged historic buildings and injured seven people.

Italy has pledged to help restore Odesa’s Spaso-Preobrazhenskyi Cathedral, a key symbol of the southern Ukrainian port city’s cultural and spiritual heritage which was severely damaged in a Russian missile attack in July 2023.

Russian missile strikes on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv have left four people dead, many wounded and damaged a UNESCO-protected architectural heritage site, local authorities have reported.

The campaign to recognize Toruń’s gingerbread culture as part of Poland’s intangible cultural heritage is gaining momentum, with public surveys now available to support the drive.
