In addition, Lucier plans to spend the funds won on a cruise with his wife. As the man said, the vacation was planned several times, but each time was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Recall that Italy will help restore the drama theater in Mariupol, on which the Russians dropped a super-powerful bomb.
According to the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy, Russia has completely destroyed or damaged at least 388 cultural monuments of Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
At the same time, as reported by the head of the Ministry of Culture Alexander Tkachenko, Ukraine will not wait for the end of the war to start restoring damaged cultural monuments.
