Das Kyjiwer Höhlenkloster brennt nach einem russischen Angriff. UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe und seit dem Jahr 1051 eines der Zentren des orthodoxen Christentums. Ein weiteres Kriegsverbrechen Putins.
Russians attacked the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra with ballistic missiles. One of Ukraine's oldest churches, 1,000 years old, is on fire.

In dieser Woche habe ich in Berlin die Auszeichnung als Reporter des Jahres entgegengenommen. Dieser Preis gehört dem ARD-Studio Kyjiw – einem herausragenden Team, das seit Jahren in einer dauerhaften Ausnahmesituation Außergewöhnliches leistet. 1/2
It is time to end this war. But Russia’s ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working. Last night, our drones covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometers to the St. Petersburg region – to the enemy navy’s arsenals and a base in Kronstadt. Our long-range sanctions also reached about 500 kilometers into the Krasnodar region – and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts by warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on life. Any manifestation of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our warriors for their precision.
Allein die Formulierung, die Ukraine komme “wenigstens nicht ungeschoren davon”, hat mich fassungslos gemacht.
Als wäre nicht Russland der Aggressor, sondern die Ukraine diejenige, die für etwas bestraft werden müsse.
Ein Land wird überfallen, besetzt, bombardiert – und trotzdem spricht man über die Ukraine, als hätte sie sich etwas zuschulden kommen lassen. Das ist eine Form der Täter-Opfer-Umkehr, die ich nur noch erschreckend finde von

Today is the Day of Remembrance for the Children Killed by Russia. Officially, it has a different name. But in the language of truth, this is exactly what it is. This day is about the most painful episodes of the war, about the greatest injustice and the evil Russia inflicts when the most vulnerable and the most innocent are killed. Children.
Currently, that figure is at least 707 Ukrainian children. And there are also thousands of children whom Russia has wounded, abducted, and thousands of children whose fate remains unknown. These are important and horrifying figures, but behind them lies something greater than statistics about Russian crimes alone. These were children's dreams, plans, and hopes that were simply erased. This is the pain of every mother and every father who does not know how to go on living with that. Living with such pain.
Our Ukrainian children. Some were only a few days old. Some had just started first grade. Others should have been celebrating their graduation. This is who a sick state is waging war against. This is who the so-called second army of the world is fighting – an army incapable of winning on the battlefield and seeking to assert itself by targeting children.
Eternal memory to every child who was killed. It is our enduring duty to remember, to protect our children, and to do everything possible to ensure that the evil Russia has brought is punished.
June 4 is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. It honours kids affected by war and violence. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, at least 707 Ukrainian children have been killed. Behind every number is a child whose future has been stolen. Russia must be held accountable for these crimes.

More than 500 personnel of the State Emergency Service have been involved in dealing with the aftermath of Russia’s overnight attack on our cities and communities. The main strike was on Kyiv, where dozens of residential buildings and other purely civilian infrastructure were damaged again. Tragically, four people have been reported killed. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. At this moment, 38 people are in hospitals in the capital, and all of them are receiving the necessary care.
In Dnipro, a search and rescue operation is ongoing at the site of a four-story apartment building. Part of the building was essentially demolished. Nine people were killed in this attack, including a child. Thirty-five people were injured in the city. The fate of six more people remains unknown. The search for them will continue for as long as necessary.
The Russians also struck energy facilities in the Kharkiv region and critical infrastructure in Kharkiv. Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Sumy, Chernihiv, and Khmelnytskyi regions also came under attack.
In total, overnight Russia launched 656 attack drones and 73 missiles of various types at our people – ballistic, cruise, and anti-ship missiles. A large-scale attack and an absolutely clear statement from Russia: if Ukraine is not protected from ballistic and other missile strikes, these attacks will continue. Europe needs its own anti-ballistic defense so that this war can finally be brought to an end. And assistance from the United States in supplying missiles for Patriot systems is absolutely necessary. We are counting on the support of our partners and on effective responses to today’s attack.
And I thank all Ukrainian men and women for not ignoring air raid alerts.
Glory to Ukraine!
Massive russische Terrorangriffe auf Kyjiw, Dnipro und andere ukrainische Städte haben in der Nacht mindestens 10 Tote und 96 Verletzte gefordert.
Unfähig, seine militärischen Ziele am Boden zu erreichen, bombardiert Russland Zivilisten, um das ukrainische Volk in die Knie zu zwingen.
500.000 Tote in Syrien:😴
375.000 Tote im Jemen:😴
5.400.000 Tote im Kongo:😴
235.000 Tote in Afghanistan:😴
500.000 Tote im Sudan:😴
300.000 Tote im Irak:😴
70.000 Tote in Gaza, mehrheitlich Hamas-Terroristen: 😡 - Eskalierende Empörung.
Kann mir das jemand erklären?
Russian forces shelled residential neighborhoods in Kherson with multiple launch rocket systems.
A father was killed. A mother and her two young daughters were injured.
This is what Russia’s war looks like: daily terror against Ukrainian civilians and children.

Die Lieferung von Taurus ist längst überfällig. Der Taurus ist mehr als ein Symbol und auch nicht durch ukrainische Fähigkeiten ersetzbar, wie von deutscher Seite gern behauptet wird. Der Taurus ist weiterhin als weitreichendes Präzisionswirkmittel militärisch absolut sinnvoll. Alle Mittel, um russische Kriegslogistik und Produktionsanlagen sowie Munitionslager auszuschalten, bevor Russland von dort Raketen und Drohnen auf ukrainische Zivilbevölkerung abschießen kann, bleiben essenziell, um die Effizienz der ukrainischen Verteidigung zu erh��hen. Taurus kann auch nützlich sein, um die Logistikverbindungen Russlands auf die völkerrechtswidrig besetzte Krym zu unterbinden.
Zudem ist die Ausbildung und Lieferung auch als politisches „Signaling“ an Moskau sinnvoll, um deutlich zu machen, dass wir uns nicht einschüchtern und unsere Unterstützung für die Ukraine nicht durch die hybride und kognitive Kampagne der Russen unterminieren lassen!
Es ist komplett unverständlich, warum sogar die Ausbildung an Taurus verweigert wird. Solidaritätsbekundungen helfen nicht.

Since last night, first responders and all necessary services have been working wherever needed. As of now, at least 83 people have been confirmed injured since midnight. Tragically, there are fatalities. My condolences to the families and loved ones.
It was a heavy attack – 90 missiles of various types, many of them ballistic missiles – 36 in total. There were 600 drones. Unfortunately, not all of the ballistic missiles were intercepted – the largest number of hits was in Kyiv. Kyiv was the primary target of this Russian attack.
Putin can’t even pronounce the word “hurrah” clearly anymore – slurs and mumbles – yet he is still vanquishing residential buildings with his missiles. Launched three Russian missiles against a water supply facility. Burned down a market. Damaged dozens of residential buildings. Hit several ordinary schools. Launched his “Oreshnik” against Bila Tserkva. They really are unhinged.
It is important that this does not pass without consequences for Russia. Today, everyone in the world who will not stay silent and chooses to help Ukraine is a defender of life. It is critically important to continue working to secure air defense for Ukraine, especially anti-ballistic capabilities.
We are doing our best to achieve peace and protect people – everything. It is important that Ukraine is not alone. Decisions are needed – from the United States, from Europe and others – to make that old “Oreshnik” in Moscow finally utter the word “peace.”
