The panorama «Defence of Sevastopol 1854—1855», created at the beginning of the 20th century by Franz Roubaud, has been almost destroyed as a result of a drone attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, announced Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev in his Telegram channel.

«The situation is extremely difficult: it is already clear that Franz Roubaud's great masterpiece has been almost destroyed. Barbarians and inhumans deliberately struck at what is dear to us, trying to destroy our essence. Only complete scumbags could do such a thing — deliberately hitting a museum,» he wrote.
