Russia's missiles destroyed more than 60 museums and galleries, as well as hundreds of churches in various regions of Ukraine.

President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated this in his address.

"Overall, more than 60 museums and galleries in different regions of our country have also been destroyed or damaged by the occupier," Zelensky said.

According to him, the debris removal continued throughout the day in the city of Kupiansk in the Kharkiv region after the Russian missile attack with the S-300 on April 25. The local history museum and adjacent buildings were targeted by terrorists.

"Russia killed two women with this strike. My condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased... Ten people were injured - they are receiving necessary assistance," the head of state added.

Furthermore, he noted that a church was destroyed by a Russian aviation strike in the village of Kizomys of the Bilozerska community in the Kherson region.

"An Orthodox church... was destroyed by a guided bomb. That is, the Russian military knew what they were destroying. This church has become one of the hundreds of churches and prayer houses destroyed by Russian strikes," Zelensky said.
