Fine heritage streetscapes are being destroyed

I read that the Opera House in Kharkiv was bombed along with nearby Freedom Square. The attached image shows a street in the Opera House neighbourhood. A whole way of life is being systematically destroyed. This is a horror unfolding before our very eyes. So very disheartening.

Many towns and cities in the Ukraine have retained many examples of functioning, heritage neighbourhoods. As the invasion continues, many of these wonderful places are being lost. All too sad to contemplate.
