29 russian scramjet powered nuclear capable hypersonic cruise missiles an hour and I’m in my bathroom tub with my dog reading tooth-rotting byler fluff to somehow comfort myself while my apartment building keeps shaking.
Aftermath of so called rus culture —
First responders have put out the fires in Kyiv – at the Lavra and the Mystetskyi Arsenal. I am grateful to all the services working at the sites of the strikes, and to everyone who is helping. It has been confirmed that two Russian drones deliberately targeted the part of the city where the Lavra and the Mystetskyi Arsenal are located. As of now, 35 people are reported injured in Kyiv. Across the country, 53 people have been wounded, and 11 people are known to have been killed in this massive Russian attack. My condolences to all their families and loved ones.
We are in constant communication with our partners regarding the consequences of this Russian attack and the necessary response. It is important that state leaders, public leaders, and international organizations do not remain silent. I have instructed Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our entire diplomatic team to maximize all contacts with partners today so that international events this week and next deliver real results for strengthening our defense and increasing global pressure on Russia over this war. We need a just response to this Russian strike. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine.

❗️Ukraine has recently received and deployed a package of Patriot missiles, — Zelenskyy
After today’s attack, the stocks need to be replenished again. The President emphasized that if there had been enough missiles, the consequences would have been completely different.
The main temple of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is the Dormition Cathedral.
Built in 1078.
Suffered destruction during the Mongol invasion in the 13th century.
Was blown up during World War II.
Damaged by russians in 2026.
Putin sends a message to G7 and European Council summits this week: he bets on terror instead of diplomacy.
I urge the G7 and European leaders to hear this message well and ensure a proper response: stronger air defense for Ukraine and pressure on the aggressor.
At least 4 civilians have been killed and almost 30 injured in Kyiv as a result of Russia’s massive attack with the use of over 60 missiles and hundreds of drones.
Russia also killed 5 first responders in a vile double-tap strike on Kharkiv.
There have been more casualties across Ukraine in Dnipro, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Sumy, Mykolayiv, Zaporizhzhia, and other regions.
As the 21st century’s worst barbarian, Putin specifically targeted unique religious and cultural sites.
Russians severely damaged the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra; bombed the historic Oleksandr Dovzhenko Film Studios, destroying Ukraine’s largest and oldest costumes collection; struck the Kharkiv Art Museum and the Dnipro House Of Organ And Chamber Music.
Russia has no justification for ruining lives, targeting residential areas, and destroying Ukrainian culture. It must be held accountable for its crimes.
This attack demonstrates the urgent need to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense. This is priority number one. Additional contributions to PURL, strong decisions to provide Ukraine with air defense systems and interceptors.
We also urge our partners to speed up the Ukraine-led European effort to develop our own protection from ballistic threats. It is time to deprive barbarians such as Putin from their terrorist tools.
It seems that part of the collection of Kharkiv Art Museum wasn’t evacuated. Evacuation of art continues. Many pieces are destroyed or damaged.

Notre-Dame was built from 1163–1345.
Kyiv Pechersk Lavra was founded in 1051, with the Dormition Cathedral being built from 1073-1078, predating Notre-Dame by over a century.
When did launching missiles into major Christian cathedrals become normalized?
Russia wants to destroy Ukrainian Christianity. Anyone pretending otherwise is lying to you.

Please, don’t stay silent.
This is what Kyiv looked like last night.
A city of 3 million people in Europe.
A night like this happens when your neighbour is a terrorist.
And when the world keeps ignoring russian terror.
