A historic windmill in the museum in Pirogovo was damaged by a Russian attack
On the night of July 5–6, the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine was damaged as a result of yet another Russian missile attack. The shock wave damaged a historic windmill from the Sumy region, which is a valuable monument to wooden milling from the first half of the 20th century.
The windmill, located in the village of Yunakivka in Sumy Oblast, was built in 1933–1934 and was part of the “Polissya” exhibition.
As a result of the blast wave, the structure’s roof was displaced, and the blades and fastenings were damaged. According to experts, these structural elements cannot be restored.
Currently, museum staff are preparing the necessary documentation to carry out restoration work, and the National Police of Ukraine has documented the damage to this cultural monument.
“This is yet another crime against our heritage and further evidence of Russia’s systematic war against Ukrainian culture,” emphasized Tetyana Berezhna, Deputy Prime Minister for Humanitarian Policy and Minister of Culture of Ukraine.
The ministry noted that it continues to document the consequences of the Russian attack, coordinate measures to preserve the damaged monument, and inform international partners about the destruction of Ukrainian cultural heritage as a result of Russian aggression.
This was reported by the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine on Facebook.
