When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped. Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself. A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

And it all began nearly 1,000 years ago, when a monk named Anthony returned to ancient Kyiv from a monastery on Mount Athos in Greece. He was seeking solitude and the life of a hermit, and so he secluded himself in small caves among the green hills on the banks of the Dnipro, where centuries earlier Vikings sought shelter while traveling far to the south along the great river had stopped and sought shelter. People learned of the piety of the hermit Anthony, and disciples began coming to him in the caves. Over many years, they dug entire labyrinths in those caves, where they prayed and labored in the half-darkness -- and reverently noticed that after death the bodies of the monks remained incorrupt (of course, this was due to the unique microclimate deep inside the caves). Thus was born the famous Kyiv Pechersk Monastery (that is, the “Cave Monastery”), which would later become the magnificent Lavra -- the foremost and greatest holy site of Christian Rus'. A real city within a city, with magnificent ancient churches built by rulers of different eras, monastic caves, gigantic crowds of pilgrims, and, in later times, the famous 97-meter bell tower, one of Kyiv's calling cards, visible for many dozens of kilometers along the banks of the Dnipro. Over its 1,000 years, the Lavra survived the internecine wars of the princes of Rus', the Mongol invasion, long years of decline and rebirth. It was the foremost center of learning and printing, and it was in its caves that the legendary monk Nestor wrote the famous Primary Chronicle -- the principal book of historical memory of the East Slavic peoples. It survived the barbarity of the Bolsheviks. It survived destruction during World War II. It survived centuries during which Moscow priests, having seized it, lorded over it. It will survive Putin and his fascist Russia as well -- no matter how the monster pukes blood in powerless rage because it cannot defeat Ukraine, and no matter how hard it tries to wipe from the face of the earth everything it cannot seize.

We must be morally prepared for the fact that Russia will deliberately try to destroy Ukraine's many ancient monuments and its most important sites of cultural and historical heritage. Today, they desecrated the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra with their violence. They struck the Dovzhenko Film Studio. The Mystetskyi Arsenal art center was damaged, as was a church in Dnipro. Saint Sophia of Kyiv is in danger. So are the ancient landmarks of Kyiv, the thousand-year-old churches of Chernihiv, the museums of the Zaporizhian Sich, and the historic treasures of Lviv. Since fascist Russia is somehow unable to defeat the Ukrainian army, and its missile terror against civilians is failing to produce results, the mighty and invincible Russia will now bravely wage war against historic churches with even greater ferocity.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a now deleted post by former MMA fighter Daniel Cormier, he posted screenshots of Eric Trump trying to get an insider scoop on whether any of the MMA fights at the White House are rigged so that he could try and illegally make money off of them.. Below is the Direct Messages that Trump allegedly sent Cormier. There is no reason to doubt the legitimacy of these messages.

It's just embarrassing for capitalism that the world's first trillionaire is such an idiot.

A Ukrainian Defender with the callsign "Demon" carried his wounded brother-in-arms, "Bora-Bora," on his shoulders for almost 20 kilometers after he suffered a severe leg injury. The Warriors spent four days making their way to safety under constant Russian shelling and the threat of drone attacks. "I don't know what gave him the strength, because I wanted to give up halfway through. He's a guardian angel who came down from heaven, took me on his shoulders, and carried me out," Bora-Bora shared. 📹: Army Media

Controversial take. The following should be considered legitimate military targets - (1) progandists. The internet has nuclear-weaponised them. They are as important or more important than frontline troops (2) foreign civilian occupiers. If you move in to (or even visit) illegally occupied territories, then you are a war criminal and should be treated as such.

We got this folks! June 10th will be remembered as the day we Saved Stargate! Keep going until we #SaveStargate !

"Unfortunately, we cannot drone strike Andrew Tate," Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces tells the internet, to widespread disappointment.

🔍 Russian POWs Describe a Very Different Reality Than the One They Were Told Two Russian soldiers captured by fighters of the SKELIA Regiment describe how their views changed after entering Ukrainian captivity. For years, Russian state media has promoted claims that Ukrainian forces mistreat prisoners. According to these POWs, their experience was the opposite. They report being treated in accordance with established procedures and international standards. The captives also describe a different problem inside the Russian military itself, alleging that abuse and mistreatment of Russian soldiers often originates within their own chain of command.

Boycott @nike. They are actively supporting a Russian imperialist and child predator.
