NOOOOOO! Dormition Cathedral of Kyiv‑Pechersk Lavra — a UNESCO World Heritage site and priceless cultural landmark — has been struck and is burning.
The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra was founded in 1051 AD during the golden age of Kyivan Rus'. It is historically important because it served as the cradle of East Slavic Orthodoxy, a center for early literacy and chronicle-writing, and a premier medical and cultural hub for Eastern Europe.
It houses Ukraine’s oldest historical records. Nestor the Chronicler, famous Lavra monk, wrote Primary Chronicle here in the early 12th century, which is the foundational historical text for history of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia.
Destroying this is literally destroying historical records and evidence.
