The Russo-Ukrainian war started at 4.30 AM on February 27th 2014 when Russian troops took control of the Crimean Parliament building in Simferopol. The invasion of Crimea was followed by the invasion of Donbass in March 2014. The war has been going on ever since.

By striking the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the greatest holy sites of Christianity, Putin has forever put his name on the list of history’s worst barbarians. He should be damned for centuries. And he will lose this war. From the Horde in the 13th century to the Nazis and Bolsheviks in the 20th century, Kyiv’s sacred monasteries have suffered numerous barbarically attacks. Now we are dealing with Russian terrorists who have already outmatched ISIS in their crimes against cultural heritage. Only Russian scum who have nothing sacred can deliberately damage the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a unique UNESCO heritage site under special protection. We will be urgently initiating all relevant procedures within UNESCO and all other international mechanisms, demanding immediate and adequate responses to this state barbarism. We expect strong reactions by international institutions and capitals. No vague words, silence, or weak steps. We need action now to stop Russian barbarism.

Russians have hit Kyiv's 975 year old Pechersk Lavra complex, one of the world's cradles of Christianity.

Russians have struck the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and are burning down one of Ukraine's oldest Orthodox churches‼️ The roof of the Dormition Cathedral is ablaze. The cathedral itself is a significant part of our history, it is older than Moscow. It was already there when russian neanderthals were building shacks made of sticks and shit. Fucking barbarians!

For nearly a millennium, Christians have prayed at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. Empires rose and fell. Wars came and went. The monastery endured. Tonight, flames rise over one of Christianity’s holiest sites after a Russian strike. This is not a war over territory - Russia is assaulting memory, identity, faith, and civilization.

Russia just targeted and heavily damaged one of the most religiously significant sites in Eastern Orthodoxy. Remember that the next time some pro-Russian simpleton blathers on about "Putin protecting Ukrainian Christians".

Every time some Russian general nowadays boasts about how he commanded operations by Russian regular troops and unofficial mercenaries such as the Wagner Group against Ukraine in Donbas in 2014–2015 (and even casually admits to committing war crimes by mistake), I feel like sending my warmest regards -- to all those who stubbornly denied Russia’s direct aggression against Ukraine back then, parroted the Kremlin’s lies about “we are not there,” the “Donbas people's militia,” and the so-called “rebels” in the name of their cherished “balance of views,” while condescendingly lecturing us about our lack of “objectivity.”

Near Armyansk in occupied Crimea, a column of approximately 50 Russian trucks carrying fuel and ammunition has been destroyed. The Russians attempted to use the route to Crimea after recent strikes on other supply routes, but the attempt proved unsuccessful.

Ukraine struck a bridge from Henichesk to Arabat Spit early 10 June, Russia-installed Kherson official Saldo said. Traffic halted, emergency services on site. The Chonhar bridge—the main overland Crimea link—remains closed after a second drone strike on 9 June. euromaidanpress.com/2026/06/…

‼️ KYIV IS UNDER MASSIVE ATTACK! Probably one of the worst it has ever experienced. Moscow is deliberately targeting civilians and high-rise residential buildings.

⚠️ Another angle of the reported Oreshnik strike on Bila Tserkva, allegedly showing impacts from the missile’s inert kinetic rods. As seen from the published footages this time Oreshnik deployed six submunition clusters, each carrying six kinetic rods, for a total of 36 rods.

Residential buildings destroyed by missiles. There will be many more casualties in Kyiv. Putin is a maniac who enjoys mass murder.

This may be the most infernal night in Kyiv since the start of the full-scale war. Dozens of ballistic missiles, crusie missiles, hypersonic missiles and drones attacking the capital non-stop. Explosions are so loud, that the ground is shaking. Just praying that everyone sees the sunrise alive and safe.

Footage of a Russian Oreshnik IRBM hitting Kyiv tonight, with its submunitions clearly seen.

Russian propagandist Simonyan, who in 2022 claimed that Russia would defeat Ukraine in two days, is now saying that her children are sleeping in the hallway. What happened?

A total of 24 civilians, including children, were killed in this Russian strike that collapsed a Kyiv high-rise. More than 40 injured. Genocidal.

Could you imagine the international uproar if Ukraine spent 15 hours sending 1500 missiles and drones into population centers all over Russia, mainly into apartment buildings, killing 15 people, including children? Russia just did this, and no one cares, especially the White House.

Putin celebrated his parade undisturbed, thanks to Trump getting Ukraine to commit to a brief ceasefire, and now feels he can murder Ukrainians in their sleep with no restrictions.

Insanity. Merkel is only pro-Russian. Her policies laid the foundation for Russian aggression. She facilitated war.

Ukrainian troops routed Swedish forces during NATO drills simulating a Russian attack on Gotland, AP reported. The exercise focused on defending the strategic Baltic island and brought in Ukrainian troops to sharpen NATO’s drone warfare skills. One Ukrainian operator said Sweden paused the drill 3 times to adjust, but in real combat, those troops would have died. Sweden’s commander said NATO must learn drone operations and countermeasures fast from Ukraine. #Ukraine

Putin is losing his grip on Russia. Every move he makes to preserve power accelerates the system’s decay, writes a former senior official in the Russian government for The Economist. 1/
