This was stated by Eveline Kravchenko, the employee of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences during her speech at the expert forum.

She stressed that the Chersonesus in Sevastopol is a UNESCO heritage site of world importance.

Since the occupation of Crimea in 2014, Russia has been destroying historical sites. In addition, the invaders moved many archeological artefacts to Russia.

The ancient city of Chersonesus, founded in the 6th century BC, was one of the local centers of Hellenic civilization. In 2013, Chersonesus was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.

Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
