Jun 15
Cloudy day in Kyiv (Kyiv Monastery of the Caves, or Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, an 11th century monastery and a museum complex at the same time)
Reblogging my own post to point out that on the night before June 15, 2026, russia hit the church pictured here in photos 3 to 6 - the Dormition Cathedral - with a Shahed drone, igniting a big fire.
Initially built in 1073-1078, the cathedral survived for centuries before being blown up by the retreating Soviet army in 1941.
It was restored after Ukraine regained independence, in 2000.
And now it's once again under attack...
Destroying one landmark at a time.
