Russia says giving Odesa UNESCO status ‘politically motivated’
\nMoscow on Wednesday decried a “politically motivated” decision by UNESCO to add the historic centre of Ukraine’s port city of Odesa to its World Heritage List.<\/p>\n

The foreign ministry accused a group of Western countries of pushing through a “politically motivated” decision in violation of the standard procedures. “It was prepared hastily, without respecting the current high standards of UNESCO,” the foreign ministry said.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday he wanted the West to send long-range missiles and jets to his war-torn country to help repel Russian troops.<\/p>\n

“We must also open deliveries of long-range missiles to Ukraine, it is important — we must expand our cooperation in artillery,” Zelensky said, also adding Ukraine needed jets. “It’s a dream and it’s a job.The<\/span> British<\/span> government<\/span> announced<\/span> on<\/span> Thursday<\/span> that<\/span> it<\/span> would<\/span> send<\/span> tanks<\/span> to<\/span> Ukraine<\/span> at<\/span> the<\/span> end<\/span> of<\/span> March.<\/span> Britain’s<\/span> announcement<\/span> came<\/span> after<\/span> French<\/span> Foreign<\/span> Minister<\/span> Catherine<\/span> Colonna<\/span> arrived<\/span> in<\/span> Odessa<\/span> and<\/span> met<\/span> with<\/span> Ukrainian<\/span> Foreign<\/span> Minister<\/span> Dmytro<\/span> Kleva<\/span> amid<\/span> a<\/span> wave<\/span> of<\/span> Russian<\/span> strikes<\/span> sweeping<\/span> across<\/span> Ukraine.<\/span>\u00a0
