Today's attack was not only aimed at killing and wounding civilians. The occupiers directed drones and missiles against history, religion, art, and education.
In Kyiv, an academy and a kindergarten were damaged, and one of the workshops of the National Film Studio named after O. Dovzhenko was destroyed.
The footage of the Assumption Cathedral engulfed in flames is horrifying. 0 8:35 AM The fire on the roof of the church was extinguished by the State Emergency Service.
While rescuers were trying to extinguish the flames in the main cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the occupiers struck again nearby — at the National Cultural, Art and Museum Complex "Art Arsenal".
