Russian occupation authorities destroyed the UNESCO-listed city of Chersonesus in southwestern Crimea and constructed an outdoor theater at the site of the excavations, a senior researcher at the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine announced on June 26.
This appears to be a reprint of an MSN article which was apparently written by a human. Just not very well.

However, I’m also not finding a really good alternate source. Every other source was an outlet I’ve never heard of.
I wouldn’t be shocked if it were true, but I’d sure like better info.

That would be one of the outlets I’ve never heard of.
Are you familiar with it? Media Bias Fact Check isn’t.
I’ve seen it a few times related to war stuff. Looks like it’s mostly arts coverage though, kind of like Smithsonian magazine or something.
Fair enough. If it’s accurate, they are also taking artifacts back to Russia. This is all part of their attempt to claim Ukraine as their ancestral homeland (true-ish?), giving them the right to invade it.
