Canada has the second-highest goal differential in the #FIFAWorldCup so far, and the highest in Group B 🇨🇦

[Lithuania MFA 🇱🇹 | #StandWithUkraine @LithuaniaMFA]

🇱🇹is deeply saddened by the killing of two Norwegian People’s Aid staff in a Russian strike in Ukraine. We extend our sincere condolences to their families and stand with those recovering from injuries. Targeting humanitarian personnel is a war crime. Accountability is essential.

ウクライナの民族衣装「ヴィシヴァンカ」を着用させていただきました。美しい刺繍と繊細なレースには、ウクライナの豊かな文化と歴史、人々の想いが息づいています。ヴィシヴァンカは単なる民族衣装ではなく、国民の結束とアイデンティティを象徴する存在です。
現在もウクライナ国内で着用が呼びかけられており、国光も袖を通し、一層身の引き締まる思いがいたしました。
ぜひ多くの皆様にも、ヴィシヴァンカを通じて、ウクライナに思いを馳せていただければ幸いです。

Every diplomatic posting eventually comes to an end, but the friendships and partnerships built along the way endure.
As Ambassador Christopher Boehm concludes his mission in Iraq, I thank him for his friendship, cooperation, and commitment to strengthening Iraq–Canada relations. Wishing him every success in his future endeavours, and I look forward to working with Canada's next Ambassador to continue advancing the strong partnership between our two countries. @CanadainIraq

The Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra will be restored.

Thanks to the professionalism and swift actions of our emergency responders, the fires have been extinguished.

Russia attempted to destroy the Lavra for a second time – just as it did in 1941. Thankfully, we will not have to rebuild this Ukrainian shrine from its foundations.

The Government will secure funding for its restoration. As President Zelenskyy noted, the Government is preparing decisions to allocate resources from the reserve fund for urgent roof stabilization and its subsequent restoration.

We expect a response from international organizations to yet another barbaric act by Russia. I have instructed Deputy Prime Minister for Humanitarian Affairs Tetiana Berezhna @BerezhnaT to intensify this work, including through the tools of the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Fund.

Since early morning, I have also received numerous messages from representatives of Ukrainian businesses and philanthropists willing to contribute to the restoration of this sacred site. Thank you for your shared values and readiness to help.

The Government, together with the reserve administration, will organize this process.

My deepest gratitude goes to Ukraine’s Defense Forces and the State Emergency Service teams, who are working selflessly at the attack site to save lives and protect our cultural heritage. 🇺🇦

Don’t forget - Crimea is Ukraine! 🇺🇦 Justice will prevail.

[Christopher Miller @ChristopherJM]

Metropolitan Epiphanius of Kyiv shares video of the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra in flames.

“We ask for prayers for the salvation of the shrine from destruction,” he writes.

He calls the Russian attack: “Another Russian crime against humanity, against history, against Christianity.”

Russian Shahed drones have attacked the world renowned Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery.

[Keith Kellogg @generalkellogg]

This attack tonight on the Monastery by the Russians in Kyiv makes no sense. It has a parallel with the bombing of London’s St. Paul’s in 1940 by the Germans. It won’t work. Someone tell me the military necessity of the Russian attack. There is none.

[Yulia Svyrydenko @Svyrydenko_Y]

Right now, as Russians continue to strike #Kyiv with over a dozen of ballistic missiles, the Dormition Cathedral of Kyiv‑Pechersk Lavra — a UNESCO World Heritage site and priceless cultural landmark — has been struck and is burning.
A brutal assault on our people and our heritage. This is the true face of Russia’s Orthodox values.
