"Moscow's forces have looted over 7.8 million artifacts from museums in
occupied territory since 2014, Ukraine's chief legal authority reported on 15
June.
The figure surfaced as Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko condemned an
overnight missile strike on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. He placed the attack
within what he called a deliberate state campaign to erase the country's
identity. Kravchenko spoke hours after a combined Russian barrage set fire to
the monastery's Dormition Cathedral. The cathedral is one of the most revered
sites in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Founded in 1051, the complex sits under
UNESCO World Heritage protection. Moreover, it falls under the
enhanced-safeguard mechanism of the 1954
Hague Convention."
