Paintings by Maria Prymachenko Burn as Ukrainian History Museum Weathers Destruction

Twenty-five paintings by Ukrainian self-taught artist Maria Prymachenko were burned during Russia’s invasion in the country, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on social media. The works had been held by the Ivankiv Historical and Local History Museum, in a town about two hours outside Kyiv that has been shelled by Russian troops.
