The Italian government has pledged €45 million to restore five architectural monuments in the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa that have been damaged during the Russian invasion, said an Odesa city official.
Ivan Liptuha, head of the city council's Department of Culture and European Integration, told the news agency Ukrinform that the money will restore the Philharmonic, Museum of Western and Eastern Art, the Literary Museum, the Art Museum, and a national heritage building set to become a UNESCO Center for Managing Cultural Heritage.
Three museums in Odesa were damaged in a single missile attack in July of last year, the Literary Museum said on its Facebook page at the time.
