How the art world is trying to keep Ukraine's cultural and artistic heritage alive

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´s cultural and artistic heritage from the ongoing war.

Hear the story of how valuable Ukrainian paintings  were put on trucks and sneaked out of Ukraine as Russia began heavily bombing the country. Thanks to the idea of one art collector they are now on display in a museum in Madrid. 

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´s Charitable Foundation about how they are trying to protect important artefacts and preserve Ukrainian culture.
