UNESCO ADDS SITES IN KYIV AND LVIV TO ENDANGERED HERITAGE LIST
PARIS, Sept 16 (Bernama-dpa) -- UNESCO added three historical sites in the wartorn cities of Kyiv and Lviv to its List of World Heritage in Danger on Friday, as a result of Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine, reported dpa news agency. The Ukrainian capital's impressive Saint Sophia Cathedral and its renowned museum Pechersk Lavra were listed as endangered, as well as the old historic town of Lviv. The sites "of outstanding universal value" have been under permanent threat since the full-scale invasion began early last year, the UN cultural organisation's World Heritage Committee said at a meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
