Hungary has described the attack on the shrine as unacceptable
According to Orban, Russian strikes have killed and injured civilians, and caused significant damage to buildings at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
"The Lavra is one of the holiest sites in Orthodox Christianity. Any attacks on civilian infrastructure, and particularly on religious sites, are unacceptable," emphasised the Hungarian Foreign Minister.
Ukraine will appeal to international organisations
Ukraine had previously announced its intention to initiate the relevant procedures within UNESCO and other international bodies in connection with the damage caused to the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra as a result of the Russian attack.
The Ukrainian government has called on the international community to properly assess the attack on the World Heritage Site.
