Russian troops attacked the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.
Last night, while Ukrainian drones struck NPO Mashinostroyenia in Reutov, which develops Russian ballistic missiles, the Russian army responded with strikes on Ukrainian cities. The main church of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the Dormition Cathedral, was damaged. The Arsenal Museum, the Dovzhenko Film Studio, several schools, and residential high-rise buildings were also hit. At this time, 4 civilians are known to have been killed and 30 wounded.
The Dormition Cathedral, which burned today, was built in Kyiv in 1078, when forests were still growing on the territory of Moscow and St. Petersburg. In the 13th century, the Horde came from the east to Ukrainian lands, and Kyiv’s churches burned and were destroyed. The Dormition Cathedral was repeatedly subjected to destruction and fires, but it stood until 1941, when Soviet NKVD officers mined and blew up both the church itself and the entire Khreshchatyk.
Eighty-five years have passed, and once again a horde from the east is killing people, destroying churches, abducting children, and spilling rivers of blood.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops have completely destroyed nearly 250 churches and prayer houses, and more than 700 other religious buildings have been damaged. Having failed to achieve its goals of occupying Ukraine by military means, the Russian army, as has repeatedly happened in its history, is resorting to terror and scorched-earth tactics in the hope of breaking resistance.
To be on the side of war criminals who destroy churches, fire on residential buildings, and kill civilians means consciously supporting evil.
