A fire broke out at Kyiv Pechersk Lavra during Russia’s massive overnight attack on Kyiv.
The UNESCO-listed monastery was previously devastated by war in 1941. More than 80 years later, the historic complex has once again been damaged by conflict.
In the context of the escalation of the war in Ukraine following the invasion by the Russian Federation, @UNESCO condemns the reported strike on 15 June that hit the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, within the World Heritage property “Kyiv: Saint-Sophia Cathedral and Related Monastic Buildings, Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra”, one of Ukraine’s most significant spiritual and cultural landmarks.
The strike reportedly caused significant damage to the exterior and interior of the Dormition Cathedral. Adjacent historic structures, including elements of the Lavra’s fortification complex and Ivan Kushnik Tower, were also reportedly impacted.
#UNESCO condemns attacks against cultural property, educational institutions, students, education personnel and media professionals protected under international law. Damage to such institutions deprives communities of access to culture, education, and shared spaces that are essential for recovery and social cohesion.
UNESCO stands ready to support relevant authorities in assessing damage to cultural and educational institutions and identifying urgent measures within its mandate.

Supergirl (1984)
It’s pretty awful. The only highlights are Helen Slater being perfectly cast as Supergirl and Jerry Goldsmith’s wonderful score.
