In a series of attacks targeting objects of national memory in Ukraine, Russian forces have completely destroyed the museum dedicated to Roman Shukhevych, a controversial figure in Ukrainian history, in the Lviv region. The Shahed drone attack also caused damages to other significant sites, including a university in Dublyany where Stepan Bandera studied 100 years ago, and various infrastructure facilities across Ukraine, such as an enterprise in Dnipro, a port in Odessa, and an infrastructure facility in Nikolaev. Shukhevych, recognized as a freedom fighter by some and a Nazi collaborator by others, has been a polarizing figure due to his role in the Galicia-Volhynia massacres during World War II.

In Lviv, western Ukraine, Russians put a local museum of Roman Shuhevych on fire, targeting it from the air. Shuhevych was Ukraine's freedom fighter from the 1940s - and Russian propaganda hates him for being such a bright Ukrainian patriot that inspires many in this country.
