UNESCO designates Odessa with World Heritage in Danger status in a bid to protect the city’s cultural sites, which have been under threat since the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine
The city’s most famous historic sites include the Odessa Opera House, which became a symbol of resilience when it reopened in June 2022.
Odessa has been bombed several times by Russia since its first attack against Ukraine on February 24, 2022. "As the war continues, this inscription reflects our collective determination to protect this city from greater destruction," Azoulay said in a statement.Earlier on Wednesday, UNESCO inscribed the Landmarks of the Ancient Kingdom of Saba, Marib in Yemen and Rachid Karami International Fair-Tripoli in Lebanon to its list of World Heritage in Danger sites.
Its status as a trading hub brought significant wealth and made it one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Eastern Europe.
