Italian minister of culture says Italy ready to rebuild bombed Ukrainian theater

By: Caroline Vakil

The Italian minister of culture offered Italy’s help in rebuilding a theater that was bombed earlier this week in Ukraine while hundreds of people were hiding inside. “Italy is ready to rebuild the Theatre of #Mariupol. The cabinet of Ministers has approved my proposal to offer #Ukraine the resources and means to rebuild it as soon as possible. Theaters of all countries belong to the whole humanity #worldheritage,” Italian culture minister Dario Franceschini tweeted

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked the Italian official over Twitter. On Wednesday, Ukrainian officials said that a theater in Mariupol, Ukraine, had been struck by Russian forces. Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said hundreds of civilians had been hiding inside the theater, calling the bombing a "horrendous war crime."
