Russians destroy architectural monument built in 1835 in Kharkiv region

“The Russians continue their attempts to destroy everything Ukrainian — our memory, our history, our identity. Today they “defeated” a local architectural monument in the village of Velyky Burluk — the Dontsiv-Zakharzhevskyі Manor. A two-story building built in 1835, which survived a century, but became a target of the Russian army. Fortunately, no one was injured in this Russian attack,” said Oleg Synegubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, on April 7.

Almost 2,000 square meters of territory were engulfed in flames. Our rescuers, despite the constant threat of repeated shelling, fought the fire for several hours — to preserve at least part of this history. The final damage will be determined by experts.

“This was not the first attack by the occupiers on this estate. Russia is a country of vandals and terrorists who are fighting not only against our cities and villages, but also against our memory,” Sinegubov noted.

“Despite the constant threat of repeated shelling, 2 operational units of the State Emergency Service, a medical team and a community rescue officer are working at the site,” the State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported on Telegram at 16:03 on April 7.
