Among the unique exhibits at the State Aviation Museum named after Antonov in Kyiv is a strategic bomber that was almost sent for scrap in 2001, but was saved thanks to the intervention of aviation expert Valeriy Romanenko.



The preservation of unique artifacts of war and the conflict of interests between the military, museums, collectors, and residents of frontline regions is a pressing issue that is resolved through important discussions. It is vital to preserve history and cultural heritage for future generations.
