As Director-General of UNESCO, Khaled El-Enany has not issued an official, standalone quote or statement directly condemning Russia. Will he do it now? Ever? Drop him a line @UNESCO_DG
🔥🔥🔥 Russia just targeted the 950-year-old Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
📌 Having lost control of this Orthodox holy site, Moscow is operating on the exact logic its proxies voiced last week:
👉 If Russia cannot own the world, the world should not exist.
BREAKING:
A Russian drone has struck the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.
Built in 1051, the monastery is the most important site of Orthodox Christianity in Ukraine.
This isn’t a coincidence that this attack happened tonight. The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra carries deep significance for Ukrainians. Putin knew Donald Trump would be celebrating his birthday and that U.S. media would be talking about the UFC fight, leaving public attention elsewhere.
Ukrainian rescue team digging out the body of a 3-year-old Ukrainian boy from under the rubble of his apartment in Dnipro.
23 Ukrainian civilians were killed in this morning’s major Russian airstrikes on Ukraine.
16 killed in Dnipro and 7 in Kyiv
💔 18 killed, including two children
Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine. According to the latest reports, 12 people were killed in Dnipro and another 6 in Kyiv.
Residential buildings, a clinic, vehicles, and other civilian infrastructure were hit. Rescue workers are still clearing the rubble and searching for survivors.
In Dnipro, rescuers managed to pull a woman alive from under the debris. Among the victims were an 8-year-old child and a toddler born in 2023.
Judging by the aftermath, Russia’s so-called “decision-making centers” were once again located in residential buildings and medical facilities.
A young victim of Russia's overnight attack on Dnipro was a 3-year-old boy.
Rescuers recovered his body from beneath the rubble of a four-story apartment building destroyed by a Russian strike.
A child who should have had his whole life ahead of him.
My deepest condolences to his family.
Every child killed by Russia is a tragedy that cannot be undone.
