Racing to Save a Ukrainian Archaeological Site Exposed by the War

from State of the World from NPR

The war with Russia has touched all aspects of Ukrainian life, including efforts to preserve the nation’s history. We go to an island in the Dnipro River where archaeologists from around the world are racing to preserve an 18th century shipwreck - exposed by Russia’s destruction of a major dam - as the site is threatened by both rapid deterioration and the nearby front line.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
