“The rashists are stealing the archival and cultural funds of the Mariupol museums. Unacceptable behavior on the part of the Russian army continues. While the Germans have looted the world’s museums at the time of World War II, as well as the Russians today, ”Tkachenko wrote.
According to him, there is information that the exhibits will be taken to Donetsk for examination, and then to Russia.
“We hope that this will not happen. In any case, we will send everyone back to Ukraine, where it has its due place. But for such cultural crimes, Russia is increasing its sentence,” Tkachenko said.
