From the panorama museum "Defense of Sevastopol 1854-1855", which was attacked by drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), 10 fragments of the canvas were saved in a fire, they are safe. This was announced on June 11 by Mikhail Smorodkin, director of the Sevastopol Defense Museum.
"Yesterday, during the fire, we took out 10 large fragments of the canvas. They are currently located in a safe place. This is about 10 pieces of 5 by 3 [m]. They were torn chaotically, they were pulled out of fire and water," TASS quoted Smorodkin as saying.
Currently, a team of museum specialists continues to work inside the building. It is also known that experts of the Investigative Committee (IC) of the Russian Federation have found fragments of the drone that attacked the museum. The attack itself was captured on video recordings, which were handed over to the investigation.
The fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked this museum became known the day before in the morning. The governor of the city, Mikhail Razvozhaev, clarified at the same time that the object was almost completely destroyed as a result of the impact. Smorodkin, in an interview with Izvestia, suggested that the entire work of Roubaud, the author of the panorama painting, could be in danger of complete extinction.
Based on this, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called the incident a barbaric act and offered to pay tickets to representatives of the UNESCO secretariat in Sevastopol so that they could personally see what the Ukrainian militants had done with this work of art. In turn, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov pointed out that the Russian Federation was right in the conflict in Ukraine. He stated that the attempts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to defeat history are futile.
