Ukraine war: Preserving culture
How Ukrainian art was brought out of Kyiv to safety in Spain and how other artefacts belonging to the National Museum of Ukraine are being protected.
In this epsiode of Business Daily Ashish Sharma looks at how the art world has tried to preserve Ukraine麓s cultural and artistic heritage from the ongoing war.

Ashish also managed to link up with Kyiv to speak to the Director of the National Art Museum of Ukraine, Yulia Lytvynets and Nadia Tymchuk the CEO of the Museum麓s Charitable Foundation about how they are trying to protect important artefacts and preserve Ukrainian culture.
