Since the Russian army began attacking Ukrainian cities, soldiers, museum officials, employees of municipalities and ordinary citizens have tried to protect Ukrainian artistic heritage by hiding works of art in bunkers and fortifying churches and national monuments. One of the most effective ways to protect the statues found in cities is to cover them with sandbags: since the end of February, when the Russian invasion began, it is not uncommon to see tall piles of sandbags in the centers of many besieged cities. behind which statues and monuments can be glimpsed.
