Should we expect any posts from you,
@RealCandaceO , condemning the Kremlin’s attack on Christianity — or do you only talk about God when you’re paid to?
The Lavra has been attacked twice — and both times by Russians.
The previous time it was damaged was during World War II, on November 3, 1941. The cathedral was mined and blown up by retreating Soviet NKVD saboteurs after German forces occupied the city.
And today — on Sunday (the Lord’s Day), June 14, 2026 — it was struck again by direct Russian missile attacks.
The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves) is 975 years old. It is one of the oldest and most sacred monastic complexes in Eastern Europe, with its history officially dating back to 1051 AD during the era of Kyivan Rus’.
