People write history. A war does not only victimize people, but also the history they have written (^SZ). UNESCO also takes a stand on the war in Europe, pointing out the need to reinforce protective measures for cultural heritage. Ukraine is home to seven sites protected by UNESCO as cultural heritage sites with the intention of placing them under the 'Blue Shield' under the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict to prevent deliberate or accidental damage.
