Flooding also threatens cultural monuments and places that attracted tourists to the Kherson region. Read UP.Culture in Telegram The State Tourism Development Agency of Ukraine has published a map of attractions and natural recreational resources that are under threat due to the actions of the Russians. “80% of the territory of the Nizhnyodniprovskyi National Nature Park, which was famous among domestic and European biologists for its rare floodplain forests, swamps and sandy steppe, may be flooded. … Most likely, this unique ecosystem of Europe has been destroyed forever,” DART said. . According to the Agency, the house-museum of Ostap Vyshny in the village of Krynyka, Oleshkiv district, the ancient Russian port city of Oleshnya, located on the island of Velikiy Potemkin in the area of the Pudova Strait, 12 km downstream of the Dnieper from the center of Kherson, was under water.
