🔴 Russian drone strike hits the historic Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, sparking a massive fire

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

The world has once again witnessed the mass murder of Ukrainians.

At least in Kyiv, four people have been killed in a russian attack tonight. In Kharkiv, five more were killed.

This is terror. Pure terror. Nothing else.

[Rasmus Jarlov @RasmusJarlov]

This is the UNESCO World Heritage site i Kyiv that Russia has bombed tonight. Founded in 1051. A craddle of Eastern Christianity and one of the most important cultural sites in all of Eastern Europe. Right now the cathedral is burning because Russia has no moral, no values.

To recap:
Trump started a war.
Couldn’t win the war.
And now Iran gets $300 billion to stop the war, while we all pay more for gas and everything else.

This is Trump’s “Art of the Deal.”

[Kristina Berdynskykh @berdynskykh_k]

After Putin called Trump to wish him a happy birthday, he launched yet another massive attack on Ukraine. Russian drones and missiles are currently in the skies over Kyiv #Ukraine

A Russian cruise missile reportedly hit the costume department at Kyiv’s Dovzhenko Film Studio overnight, damaging the studio’s massive costume archive.

Casualties from Russia’s attack on Ukraine’s capital this morning are still coming in, with at least 20 injured and 4 killed.

This event is in honor of America's 250th bday, but to watch it, Americans have to pay for a subscription to Paramount+, the company owned by David Ellison (spotted below) whose deal to merge with Warner Bros was approved by Trump and whose dad is a major Trump fundraiser

JFK once invited to dinner 49 Nobel laureates, Robert Frost, William Styron, Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, Katherine Anne Porter, John Dos Passos, James Farrell and Lionel and Diana Trilling, and others. His line on the occasion became famous: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Some of you were alive when that happened.

"60 percent of the global market share gains made by Chinese companies over the past 20 years can be directly attributed to state subsidies."

"Germany lost around 400,000 industrial jobs between 2019 and 2025 solely due to China's trade policy."

80 years has passed, and we are still here : not London Blitz, it’s people of Kyiv tonight sheltering from Russian drones and missiles attacking the city . There have been at least about 40 missiles Russia attacked Kyiv with, in just one night

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

Kyiv right now.

Dormition Cathedral was built about a century before Moscow was first mentioned — now engulfed in flames after a russian missile strike.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

If only there was a superpower that could provide even more weapons and support to the Ukrainians

[Pepel Klaasa @pepel_klaasa]

In Kyiv, a Russian missile struck the Dormition Cathedral, the main church of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. It is almost one thousand years old. It is older than Moscow itself.

If those Russian patriots ever dare to start talking about the history of Kievan Rus again, just silently show them these photos. Or not so silently – tell them to go to hell.

For fuck’s sake, it is high time to hit the Lubyanka and the presidential palace in the Kremlin already. What resources do you need? What fundraising should we start?

[Thomas Dijker @tdijker]

Horrible horrible horrible!

[Mariana Betsa @Mariana_Betsa]

Just terrible. Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. The UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most significant 🇺🇦 cultural landmarks. Russia’s attack on world’s cultural heritage is a war crime. We urge @UNESCO to immediately respond to this crime & hold Russia accountable.

[Michael Weiss @michaeldweiss]

Likewise.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Kyiv is under attack.
Explosions shake the night.
Air defense.

In the afternoon, I admired the work of Ukrainian artisans.
At night, I listen to explosions.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

Kyiv is under ballistic missile attack. Very loud.
