Vladimir Putin, the self-proclaimed defender of "true Christianity," has just struck the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.
For Americans: imagine if a foreign army shelled Independence Hall, Arlington National Cemetery, and one of the oldest monasteries in the country all at once.
The Lavra is over 900 years old. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most sacred places in Eastern Christianity.
This is what Putin's "traditional values" look like.
