The director general of UNESCO has pledged more than $10 million towards efforts to rebuild Ukraine's devastated arts landscape after a tour of the embattled country this week. A new report from UNESCO, however, has put the dollar number needed to properly rehabilitate Ukraine's culture and heritage at $6.9 billion.
Audrey Azoulay spent two days visiting the cities of Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Odesa with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reaffirming "the organization's support to the population [as well as] to advance the reconstruction of the country's cultural sector," UNESCO said in a statement.
