The invaders steal the cultural heritage of Mariupol. For example, the occupiers took to Donetsk a unique collection by Yukhym Kharabet from the Mariupol Museum of Medallic Art. 

That was reported by the Mariupol City Council.

The museum had more than 700 exhibits on 16 stands.

“All works were donated to the museum by the artist's wife, People's Artist of Ukraine Svitlana Otchenashenko-Kharabet. She died in the besieged Mariupol in April 2022,” the report says.
