It should be noted that this is not the first museum in Ukraine dedicated to the war with Russia. An interactive online museum of the Russian-Ukrainian war was opened in the Severne military command before the full-scale invasion, and a classic Museum of the Russian-Ukrainian War was opened in Kryvyi Rih last year. There are also museums dedicated to the war with Russia in Dnipro, Kyiv, Cherkasy, and Zbarazh.
