23.03 the monument to Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko in Kharkiv was lined with sacks to protect against bombing. The monument’s height is over 16 meters, and Taras Shevchenko himself is 5.5 meters. The statue is now a monument to the Ukrainian people, who protect its culture even under the shelling.

Due to the martial law in Ukraine, it is prohibited to take photos and videos, use drones without a journalist accreditation and a approval of local military administration. Don’t try this in Ukraine, or you are doing it at your own risk.
