Russians have initiated construction on the territory of "Chersonesos Taurica" - an ancient city-monument and a UNESCO World Heritage site, as reported by the Union of Archaeologists of Ukraine.

"On the territory of 'Chersonesos Taurica,' Russian military builders are constructing a new amphitheater. These actions are carried out by the subordinate military construction complex of the Russian Ministry of Defense. They continue construction work to create a so-called historical-archaeological park and the destruction of the cultural and archaeological landscape," the Union of Archaeologists of Ukraine stated in a Facebook post.
