France's Foreign Minister put it well:
A strike on the Lavra is the equivalent of bombing Notre-Dame.
This is what russia calls defending Christianity.

I cannot believe what I’m witnessing in Kyiv tonight. Priests at the Kyiv Lavra one of the holiest Christian sites in Europe are rushing to save crucifixes, icons and sacred artefacts while Russia attacks the city.
This is what Moscow’s “Christian values” look like.
росіяни проводять геноцид українців, вони вдарили КАБом 3000 кг по українському місту Покровське, Дніпропетровської області 💔
Друзі , поширюйте відео на цілий світ , нехай бачать всі, які росіяни варвари і нелюди ...
The real reason Russia is pushing the Ukraine biolab narrative is more serious than the propaganda suggests. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀. As the old saying goes, accuse your opponent of what you are doing yourself.
Russia claims Ukraine and the United States operated secret biological weapons labs in Ukraine. That claim has not been substantiated. The UN has said it is not aware of any biological weapons programme in Ukraine, and Ukraine has repeatedly denied developing, producing, or stockpiling biological weapons.
Ukraine’s facilities are publicly described as public health, disease surveillance, biosafety, biosecurity, and threat-reduction labs. Ukraine says it complies with the Biological Weapons Convention and rejects the claim that these sites were military bioweapons facilities.
Russia’s position is the opposite.
Russia accuses Ukraine of hidden biological weapons activity while keeping its own military biological infrastructure secretive and largely inaccessible to meaningful international scrutiny.
Russia inherited the Soviet biological weapons legacy. The Soviet Union operated one of the largest and most secretive biological weapons programmes in history. After its collapse, serious questions remained about how much of that infrastructure, expertise, and military research culture survived inside Russia.
Those concerns remain unresolved.
The U.S. State Department has assessed that Russia maintains an offensive biological weapons programme in violation of the Biological Weapons Convention. Russia denies this, but its relevant military biological facilities remain closed, opaque, and shielded from independent verification.
Ukraine’s labs are discussed as public health and disease surveillance facilities.
Russia’s military biological sites are treated as restricted state secrets.
Ukraine’s cooperation with the United States was linked to biosafety, biosecurity, and reducing risks from dangerous pathogens inherited from the Soviet period.
Russia, by contrast, has a documented Soviet bioweapons legacy, current official compliance concerns, and restricted military facilities that outside observers cannot meaningfully inspect.
In 2024, satellite imagery and expert analysis reported major construction and expansion at Sergiev Posad-6, a restricted Russian Ministry of Defence biological research site with a Soviet-era bioweapons history. The reported construction began in May 2022, shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion and during the same period when Moscow intensified its claims about Ukrainian “biolabs.”
That timing does not prove the new construction is an offensive biological weapons programme. But it does make Russia’s propaganda campaign look highly suspect.
Russia demanded outrage over Ukrainian public health laboratories while expanding or upgrading its own secretive military-linked biological research infrastructure.
The strongest factual argument is not that every Russian biological activity is illegal. It is that Russia has no credibility accusing Ukraine of hidden bioweapons activity while refusing transparency over its own military biological facilities.
This is classic projection and deflection.
Russia turns Ukrainian public health and threat-reduction work into a fake Western bioweapons plot.
It shifts attention away from its own closed military biological sites.
It muddies the waters around biological weapons compliance.
Ukraine denies the allegations, points to peaceful public health work, and says it complies with international obligations.
Russia has a Soviet bioweapons legacy, U.S.-assessed BWC violations, secretive military biological facilities, and refuses the transparency it demands from others.
So when Russia talks about Ukrainian “biolabs,” the relevant question is why a country with closed military biological sites is trying so hard to redirect attention onto Ukraine’s public health laboratories.
While Andrew Tate & Candice Owen’s visit Moscow and lie about how it’s the bastion of peace, missiles are raining down on civilian homes here in Kyiv. Russia is a terrorist state and it should never be normalised.
This is Kharkiv right now ‼️
Russian strike inflicts severe damage on Kharkiv Art Museum.
First responders and the mayor are frantically saving priceless exhibits from the fire!
This is what remains of people who were doing nothing more than being outside.
russia dropped guided bombs on the center of Sloviansk yesterday, killing three.
No military targets. No battlefield. Just civilians.
This is what russian terrorism looks like.
A lot of people have been asking where I am and if I am ok. I am preparing.
In two weeks, I will begin my first vacation in nearly two years.
I won't be spending it on a beach. I won't be traveling abroad. I won't be resting.
Instead, I will walk home.
From Maidan and the Alley of Heroes in Kyiv to Kramatorsk.
Hundreds of kilometers.
Roughly 50 kilometers every day.
In the summer heat, where temperatures regularly reach 28°C and above. I have my own health challenges, and there will be days when every step hurts. But compared to what my soldiers endure every day, that discomfort is insignificant.
I am doing this because it is easy for the frontline to feel distant when you are not living beside it. For my soldiers, there is no distance. The war is present in every day, every decision, and every kilometer of ground they defend.
But my soldiers are still there.
They are still defending #Ukraine.
They are still living in frontline villages and cities.
They are still carrying the weight of a war that most people only see through a screen.
Donbas is Ukraine.
And Donbas is not some distant place on a map.
It is home.
My soldiers are former prisoners. Even if they are granted a vacation, it does not look like yours or mine. They will still remain close. They do not get to simply walk away from it.
So I am asking for your help.
This walk is about awareness, but awareness alone does not keep soldiers alive.
Equipment does.
Vehicles do.
Communications do.
Drones do.
Recently, our only ground drone struck a mine and was destroyed.
That wasn't just a piece of equipment. It was a lifeline. It delivered water. It carried supplies. It reduced risk to the soldiers who depended on it.
Now it is gone.
And what we have in the field is what we have.
That is not a position any unit should be forced into.
My goal is to raise a minimum of $50,000 during this journey so that my battalion can continue operating, continue adapting, and continue bringing our people home.
Every kilometer I walk is for the soldiers who cannot leave.
Every kilometer is for the fallen whose flags stand in the Alley of Heroes.
Every kilometer is for Donbas.
Every kilometer is for Ukraine.
If you can donate, please do.

Help me carry this message from Kyiv to Kramatorsk.
The war is not over.
And neither are we.

Nah, it's from invading your neighbors to destroy towns and cities, bombing children's hospitals, apartment buildings, churches, bus stops, and infrastructure amidst cold winters to freeze millions of people, hunting civilians with drones, raping, abducting... among other things
