“I wasn’t ever in the moment, I was just so afraid. And then something clicked, where I was, like, ‘You know what? I’m not wasting this moment on being nervous, or scared. I’m gonna walk out there like Julius fucking Caesar.’” - Dave Grohl, on his start after Kurt Cobain died.
For nearly a millennium, Christians have prayed at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.
Empires rose and fell. Wars came and went. The monastery endured.
Tonight, flames rise over one of Christianity’s holiest sites after a Russian strike.
This is not a war over territory - Russia is assaulting memory, identity, faith, and civilization.
💔 Kyiv looks like after an apocalypse. This is a capital in the heart of Europe, home to over 3 million people.
The world continues to watch russian terror, pretending we don’t exist.
During an Russian attack on the Dovzhenko Film Studio in Kyiv, the largest and oldest costume collection in Ukraine was destroyed.
An attack on cultural heritage is an attack on a nation’s memory, history, and identity.
Russia attacked the main cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra — the Dormition Cathedral — in the year the Lavra celebrates its 975th anniversary. It is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Terrorists. 😡
@FuriousManiati But the Germans did not bomb St. Isaac's Cathedral in Leningrad and other historical monuments, although they could easily have done so.
Russians are much worse than the Nazis.
We have reached the point where the Russian Nazis have bombed a sacred religious landmark in the capital of Kyiv.
Just like the German Nazis did in London during WW2
As Trump holds a cage fight at the White House, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine, striking the historic Kyiv-Pechersk monastery, a UNESCO world heritage site. Trump promised to end this war on day 1: appeasing dictators never leads to peace, only more war.
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.
@ChampRDS If Infantino received the Order of Friendship from Putin, then Trump was probably awarded the Hero of Russia three times.
Infantino received the Order of Friendship from Putin.
🇺🇦‼️ RAPPELEZ CES IMAGES D’ÉGLISES EN FEU À CEUX QUI PRÉTENDENT QUE LA RUSSIE DÉFEND LES VALEURS CHRÉTIENNES !
La Laure de Kyiv, l’un des plus beaux monuments de Kyiv, est en feu.
Le Notre-Dame pour les Ukrainiens.
Les Russes viennent de la frapper.
NE PASSEZ PAS À CÔTÉ !
As soon as I see a message in my Twitter feed that Trump called Putin, I immediately understand that tonight Putin will brutally bomb Ukraine.
The result of their conversation today: Russians struck the holy place where the Slavs accepted Christianity in 988 y, Lavra is in fire.
