Colleagues,
Many on this list are probably already familiar with the network "Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online (SUCHO)”, attempting to archive digitally at risk materials:
https://www.sucho.org/ <
https://www.sucho.org/>
There is a spreadsheet at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zcrfKnuyG2VOGLvhfxPLiwBlUtGbf8ZzObuJyWkZW9k/edit#gid=0
that notes the work to be done still in archiving digital materials form the Chernivisti Museum of the History and Culture of the Bukovinian Jew <
http://muzejew.org.ua/Koncept-En.html>s, among other sites.
Other resources:
Many will have seen the reports on the Kharkiv Art Museum, a fate that presumably looms over Czernowitz institutions,, eg:

I see there is a helpful Twitter stream by one of the SUCHO coordinators, Anna Kijas (Tufts):

There is a sobering piece on the potential looting of Ukrainian art and cultural heritage:
