Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia has resulted in significant losses of $19.6 billion to the country’s cultural and tourism sectors, according to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal. At least 900 historical and cultural sites have been destroyed or damaged during the conflict.
Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal revealed on Thursday that Ukraine plans to establish a special register of the destroyed cultural and tourism facilities. This register will aid in determining the amount of compensation that the country can seek from Russia for the damages incurred.
Shmyhal stated that Ukraine will require $8.9 billion to restore the cultural and tourist sites that have been impacted by the war. The creation of the register will play a crucial role in the process of seeking restitution for the losses suffered by the country’s cultural and tourism sectors.
