Ukraine Accuses Russia of Systematic Cultural Destruction in Ongoing War

Russia’s attacks on cultural heritage in occupied Ukraine are neither accidental nor merely symbolic, experts say. They are an attempt to rewrite history, erase Ukraine’s identity, and make annexation permanent.

The Brief

  • Russia is systematically targeting Ukrainian cultural sites (museums, libraries, archives) to erase national identity, with over 5,500 sites damaged or destroyed since 2022.
  • Beyond physical destruction, Russia is enforcing Russification in occupied territories—rewriting history, altering place names, and seizing control of cultural institutions.
  • Looting and forced reeducation of Ukrainian children, including deportations to Russia, have escalated, with Putin facing an ICC arrest warrant for war crimes.
