What is the solution?
"The paintings here are not very special, but they, and the stucco, and the doors, and the cobblestones, have been preserved and should not just be repaired but rather restored," says the founder of the restoration workshop, Iryna Hirn. "I am happy that people live in this house who understand the value of restoration, which we decided to finance, including the work of specialists ourselves and restore everything comprehensively."

As Rubryka reported, the Ukrainian Institute, with the support of USAID in Ukraine together with KYIFORNIA, launched the international campaign Postcards from Ukraine to tell the world about the targeted destruction of objects of Ukrainian culture, which embody the history of not only the Ukrainian people but also the entire European civilization.
