“Unfortunately, last night, the invaders [Russian troops] completed their work and destroyed the Dergachivskyi House of Culture, and at the same time our humanitarian centre, with a missile strike,” he wrote.

In the first month of the war, Russian forces burned the Museum of Local History in the town of Ivankiv, Kyiv region which was established in 1981. The museum housed within its collection of 25 works by the Ukrainian folk artist Maria Prymachenko.
