[UNITED24 @U24_gov_ua]

4 people killed and 25 more injured, almost every district affected, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, set on fire — these and other acts of inhumane barbarity are the result of russia’s attack on Kyiv last night.

As a result of a repeated strike in Kharkiv, 4 rescuers were killed, and another 9 were injured.

The enemy treacherously struck them while they were eliminating the consequences of a russian strike on a civilian enterprise.

[European Democrats @democrats_eu]

Russia has struck the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, part of the historic monastery complex recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage. Putin does not only bomb cities: he tries to erase memory, identity and freedom. This is not strength. It is barbarism dressed as power. Europe must answer with tougher sanctions, full political resolve and the weapons Ukraine needs to defend itself. No peace can be built by kneeling to an aggressor.

[MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦 @MFA_Ukraine]

Russia’s attack on the night of June 15 killed at least four people and injured 28 others in Kyiv, while a double strike in Kharkiv killed five rescuers and wounded nine more as they responded to an earlier attack.

The massive Russian assault targeted residential buildings, civilian infrastructure, educational facilities, and cultural heritage sites. In Kyiv, the attack set fire to the roof of the 11th-century Dormition Cathedral at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and also damaged the Mystetskyi Arsenal cultural complex. In Dnipro, Russian strikes hit a railway station, a college, and industrial facilities.

In total, Russia launched 70 missiles and 611 drones across Ukraine, including over 60 missiles aimed at Kyiv alone. Kyiv, Dnipro, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Mykolaiv regions were also targeted.

Russia shows no intention of ending its aggression. As G7 leaders gather for their summit, a strong response is needed: greater pressure on the aggressor and more air defence support for Ukraine, particularly anti-ballistic capabilities.

[Army Media 🇺🇦 @armyinformcomua]

Some people in the West still speak of Russian high culture.

Look carefully at this photograph.

The holes in the wall of the Dnipro House of Organ and Chamber Music is what Russian culture looks like when it arrives uninvited.

Last night, Russia struck Dnipro. The organ hall — destroyed. A college — damaged. Enterprises, infrastructure, residential buildings across multiple districts of Dnipropetrovsk region — struck. An ambulatory clinic. A market. Schools.

A 64-year-old man is in hospital. A 46-year-old man is in hospital.

Russia did not accidentally hit a music hall. Russia does not accidentally hit anything. It aims at what it aims at — and what it aims at, consistently, across four years of full-scale war, is the places where civilians live, study, heal, and listen to music.

The Russia that has been fighting this war for four years — looks like this:

A destroyed organ hall in Dnipro. That is Russia.
A bombed ambulatory clinic in Nikopol. That is Russia.
A struck school in Synelnykove. That is Russia.
A music college with its walls blown out. That is Russia.

This is not what Russia exports to international festivals and cultural forums. This is what Russia exports when it has bombs instead of invitations.

You may never have been to the real Russia. You are looking at it now.

Study every hole in that wall carefully.
That is the "Russian world." That is what it does when it reaches you.

Ukraine has been holding it back since 2022.

Это сделало "государство традиционных ценностей" о котором так кричат прокремлевские западные консерваторы. Тот самый "богобоязненный русский народ" ударил по старейшему и наиболее значимому монастырю восточнославянского православного христианства, объекту Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО с тысячелетней историей.

Listen to this absolutely haunting sound.

Putin’s attack on the Lavra must be condemned by leaders around the world. It’s also a wake-up call, Ukraine *is* the Lavra, it’s survived but only by facing off the utter barbarity of Putin’s regime

⚡ The Dovzhenko Film Studio in Kyiv has been attacked by Russia. The strike damaged the costume workshop and caused a fire, according to Deputy Prime Minister for Humanitarian Policy Tetiana Berezhna

"Ukraine’s largest and oldest costume collection has been destroyed. The studio housed about 100,000 costumes and three million pieces of various clothing. Other buildings and structures at the film studio were also damaged," she added.

🚀 The War Against Civilization: Russia’s Ballistic Assault on Culture and Life

Having launched a record number of ballistic missiles overnight, Russia decided to attack a cathedral, schools, a film studio, and residential buildings. I will tell you more about the buildings Russia hit, so you can understand why Russia is trying to destroy religion, education, and art.

⛪ Kyiv Pechersk Lavra

The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is not just the oldest monastery of Rus, founded in the 11th century; it is a true spiritual and intellectual outpost of Ukraine, which Muscovy has sought to appropriate or destroy for centuries.

👤 Who Built It (Founders of the Lavra)

The Lavra grew literally from a single cave on the Kyiv hills.

🔹 Anthony of Pechersk (1051): An ascetic monk who returned from Mount Athos and settled in a dug-out cave on the banks of the Dnieper. He is considered the spiritual father of the monastery.

🔹 Theodosius of Pechersk: Anthony’s student, who reorganized the monastery, introduced the strict Studite Rule, and began building the first surface churches and cells.

🔹 Yaroslav the Wise and the Rus Elite: The Prince and Kyiv boyars actively financed the development. The Great Dormition Cathedral (the Lavra's main church) was founded in 1073 with the financial support of Prince Svyatoslav Yaroslavych.

📜 What the Lavra Is Famous For

The Lavra is the heart of Ukrainian chronicle-writing, book printing, and medieval science.

🔹 Near and Far Caves: A unique underground labyrinth hundreds of meters long, where monks hid, prayed, and protected relics from 5 to 20 meters underground during enemy invasions.

🔹 Incorruptible Relics: Thanks to a unique underground microclimate, the bodies of Lavra saints naturally mummified. The Russian Empire used this for "religious tourism" for centuries, even though the saints were figures of Rus (Ukrainian) history.

🔹 Intellectual Center: This is where Nestor the Chronicler (author of the "Primary Chronicle") lived and wrote. It hosted the largest printing house, and in the 17th century, through the efforts of Petro Mohyla, the Lavra school became the foundation for the future Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.

👑 Whose Tombs and Relics Are There (Who is buried there)

🔹 Ilya Muromets (Chobitok): A real historical warrior-hero from the Chernihiv region who took monastic vows at the Lavra at the end of his life. Russia later completely stole his image for their folklore.

🔹 Nestor the Chronicler: The father of Ukrainian history.

🔹 Agapit of Pechersk: The first known doctor (healer) of Rus.

🔹 Konstantyn-Vasyl Ostrozky: A great Ukrainian prince, patron, defender of Orthodoxy, and "uncrowned king of Rus." His magnificent tomb monument has been restored in the Dormition Cathedral.

🔹 Petro Mohyla: An outstanding Metropolitan of Kyiv, architect of the Ukrainian church and educational revival.

🔹 Pavlo Polubotok (cenotaph): The Lavra grounds hold the burials of the Polubotok family and other Cossack elders, colonels, and hetmans, as the Cossacks were the main sponsors of the Lavra in the "Mazepinian Baroque" style.

🔹 Ideological Marker of Occupation (Pyotr Stolypin): A Russian prime minister, reformer, and hardline chauvinist who destroyed everything Ukrainian. He was killed in Kyiv in 1911 and buried near the Refectory Church of the Lavra—his grave remains there as a reminder of imperial presence.This is not the first time. In 1941, the Russians already blew up the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.

🎬 Dovzhenko Film Studio

The Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Film Studio is not just a film production factory; it is a true citadel of Ukrainian identity. During times of harsh Soviet censorship, it became a place where Ukrainian artists carried out a quiet but powerful cultural resistance against the empire, creating world-class film masterpieces.

🏛️ Global Scale: The Ukrainian Hollywood

When the studio was founded in the late 1920s in Kyiv, it was one of the largest and most modern in the world.

🔹 Technological Breakthrough: The studio's pavilions were built according to the latest technology of the time. The main shooting pavilion remained the largest in Europe for a long time.

🔹 Oleksandr Dovzhenko: The studio received the name of the great director in 1957. It was here that he shot his cult masterpieces "Earth" (1930) and "Zvenyhora" (1927). The Ukrainian film "Earth" was included in the top 10 best films of all time by international film critics at the Brussels World's Fair.

🎨 Creation of the "Ukrainian Poetic Cinema" Phenomenon

The studio’s greatest contribution to Ukraine is the birth of a unique cinematic style that blew up international film festivals in the 1960s-70s and became a shield against Russification.

🔹 "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" (1964): Director Sergei Parajanov, cinematographer Yuriy Illienko, composer Myroslav Skoryk, and actor Ivan Mykolaichuk created a film at the studio that won 39 international awards and 28 gold medals worldwide.

🔹 Manifesto of Identity: This film was a triumph of the Ukrainian language, Hutsul authenticity, and philosophy. Parajanov categorically refused to dub the film into Russian, which was an unheard-of challenge to Moscow. Global artists (including Federico Fellini) gave this film a standing ovation.

🔹 Other Masterpieces: "White Bird with Marked Wings" (Yuriy Illienko), "Stone Cross" (Leonid Osyka), "Babylon XX" (Ivan Mykolaichuk).

🛡️ Significance for Ukraine: Why did Moscow try to strangle it?

The Dovzhenko studio was a dangerous platform for the Soviet government because it concentrated the free-thinking Ukrainian intelligentsia—the "Sixtiers."

🔹 Epicenter of Dissident Resistance: During the premiere of "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" in Kyiv on September 4, 1965, Vyacheslav Chornovil, Vasyl Stus, and Ivan Dziuba staged the first open political protest against the arrests of Ukrainian intellectuals.

🔹 Censorship's "Shelf": Soviet censors launched a total pogrom against "poetic cinema." Dozens of films were banned, and many directors (including Parajanov, who was later imprisoned) had their careers ruined. Moscow wanted the studio to release only template Soviet propaganda about factories and collective farms, but they could never burn out the Ukrainian spirit.

🔹 Leonid Bykov: Even during the "era of stagnation," films loved by millions were made here, such as the legendary "Only Old Men Are Going to Battle" (1973), where Bykov managed to subtly weave Ukrainian song ("The Night is So Moonlit") and Ukrainian color into an official Soviet plot about WWII.

The significance of the Dovzhenko studio is that it preserved our nation's visual code. When Ukrainian history was rewritten in Kremlin offices, the artists at the studio captured the Ukrainian soul, architecture, clothing, traditions, and character on film.

🛑 The Reality of Terror

Today, Russia struck these objects with ballistics. Faced with global outrage, they already claimed that Ukraine hit itself. If Russia had chosen to build instead of destroy, the cost of this attack could have repaired a huge number of cities, roads, schools, and hospitals with the latest technology. Instead, they kill, and the Russian people support it.

By the way, the strikes were not only in Kyiv. In Dnipro, Russia hit a college and a House of Organ and Chamber Music; yesterday in Kharkiv, an art museum; in Sumy, the Palace of Children and Youth. All strikes targeted culture, education, and faith. And, of course, the strikes on residential buildings—it wouldn't be Russia if they didn't hit people sleeping quietly in their homes. And it wouldn't be Russia if they didn't strike the rescuers who arrived to save people, killing them too today.

There was also a strike on the High Anti-Corruption Court in Kyiv. As I said—corruption is a consequence of the Russian system in Ukraine, and it is symbolic how Russia protects it. A whole street in Kyiv was completely destroyed. There were strikes on a sorting center of the private postal company "Nova Poshta." Kyiv is still on fire, and it is being extinguished from the air.

Russia has demonstrated the only language it understands.

[ZMiST @ZMiST_Ua]

🔥 As of this morning, emergency crews are still working to extinguish large-scale fires on the grounds of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and Mystetskyi Arsenal caused by Russian strikes, according to Pavlo Petrov, spokesperson for Kyiv’s State Emergency Service, speaking to Ukrainska Pravda.
