The historic center of Odesa was damaged – Russia attacked the monument protected by UNESCO

On the night of July 23, Odesa was subjected to another missile attack by Russian troops. As reported in the “South” Operational Command, at night the enemy hit Odesa with 5 types of missiles of all types of bases: “Kalibre”, “Onyx”, Kh-22 and Iskander-K, and also used Iskander-M ballistic missiles.

Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin reported that at least one person had died. Many wounded. The Russians attacked the historical center with rockets, a monument protected by UNESCO. The largest Orthodox church in the city was destroyed.

“Russia once again proves that its main goal is to kill peaceful Ukrainians. And talk about Russian spirituality is a lie. Rockets attacked the historic center, a monument protected by UNESCO. The largest Orthodox church in the city was destroyed.

The only traditions that Russia really honors and continues are the traditions of cannibalistic totalitarian regimes,” he said.

Kostin said that this temple was already destroyed – in the 36th year. Independent Ukraine restored it.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that there can be no excuse for Russian evil and there will definitely be an answer for Odesa.
