Tchaikovsky's house destroyed by Russian army in Ukraine

This is not a music website but I have thought of making you aware of the tragic destruction of Tchaikovsky's house in north-east Ukraine.

According to an article on the Classic FM website, the house was recently destroyed by the Russian army. 

What a sensible loss due to the greed, power, and immeasurable lack of sophistication by some politicians. What you destroy can never be replaced; maybe repaired. Think of what was done during the bombing of Dresden in February 1945, and there are many other examples of how human beings destroy history, culture, and much more. This treasure in Ukraine has now become the prey of such senseless actions as well. What is the message for us in our country?
