Russia may be expelled from UNESCO in the near future/Pixabay

46 UNESCO member states refused to participate in the 45th session while it is headed by Russia. This is an unprecedented support of international colleagues for Ukraine.

The Parties to the Convention signed an open letter due to Russia's aggression and violation of international humanitarian law in Ukraine. This was announced by the Minister of Culture and Information Policy Oleksandr Tkachenko.

Ukraine has repeatedly appealed to UNESCO with a request to exclude Russia from the organization, which is waging a full-scale war on the territory of our state. Including destroying the cultural heritage, which has a history of millennia,” Tkachenko wrote.

Russia, which strikes at Ukrainian churches, museums, monuments, theaters, under any circumstances, has no moral right to continue to be called a member of an organization whose goal is to engage in culture.

Tkachenko noted that he hopes for the right decisions of UNESCO, because a country that kills civilians and destroys the culture of another state cannot be a member of the organization. Under any circumstances.
