"The first few seconds of a precision strike by a Russian drone, which hit the very heart of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra — the Cathedral of the Dormition.
The cathedral engulfed in flames is yet another crime committed by the Russian occupiers, who seek to destroy our memory, culture and identity.
It is painful to look at the damaged shrine, which has survived more than one attempt to erase it from Ukrainian history. But we have revived what the enemy tried to destroy time and again. We will rebuild it now too," the statement reads.
