"For us French, this equals bombing Notre-Dame" — France's FM Barrot on Russia's strike on Kyiv Pechersk Lavra EU ministers meeting in Luxembourg demanded expanded sanctions. Lithuania says Rosatom, Rosneft & Lukoil must be added to the 21st package now euromaidanpress.com/2026/06/15/f...

I instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and our entire diplomatic team to intensify all contacts with partners as much as possible today so that international measures this and next week yield real results in strengthening our defense and global pressure on Russia for this war.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Now in Kyiv – in the Lavra and in the Mystetsky Arsenal – rescuers have already extinguished the fires. As of now, 35 people are known to have been injured in Kyiv. In total, 53 people have been injured across the country and 11 killed in this massive Russian strike.

Indeed it was Obama in 2014 who did do nothing poining to others. A weakling allthough a very nice and well spoken one. But a weakling on geopolitics. Dems are weaklings. Repubs are treasorous fascists all of them since 1950 bsky.app/profile/anne...

Laura is right - most Democratic presidents did not do enough to defeat the mobsters. Obama: red line in Syria. Biden was too weak too as a decades long part of the political establishment - thought you could be friends with the GOP. That's the way I see it: Dems=GOP Light bsky.app/profile/anne...

The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra was founded in 1051 AD during the golden age of Kyivan Rus'. It is historically important because it served as the cradle of East Slavic Orthodoxy, a center for early literacy and chronicle-writing, and a premier medical and cultural hub for Eastern Europe.

JUST A THOUGHT Imagine it’s 20 years from now. Volodomyr Zelensky, President of the European Union. I would love to see that day.

The Russians claim that a bridge across the river in the city of Novoazovsk, which is on the main land route to Crimea, was struck and partially damaged. Trucks are not allowed to pass, they have to take a detour through neighboring villages.

🇫🇷France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot: Last night, Russia once again showed the full extent of its cruelty, striking Kyiv massively and causing extremely severe damage to the Dormition Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

And don't imagine for one moment that it's going to stop here. The pressure for expanding the definition of terrorist to anyone protesting against the Israeli government's genocide is already rising. bsky.app/profile/netp...

Meanwhile, not one of the groups so far known to have been orchestrating the violence in Belfast and Southampton has been banned as a terrorist organisation.

Terrible news: the Court of Appeal has just ruled that the Government’s ban on Palestine Action is lawful. PA is now likely to lodge an appeal before the Supreme Court. So the mass arrests of peaceful people sitting with cardboard signs will continue. Because that is what terrorism looks like ...

No one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/6

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

The EU is taking welcome steps to promote European tech infrastructure but it is still beholden to Silicon Valley's vision of the future, in which AI deployment is an end in itself that trumps all other societal objectives. My latest @theguardian.com piece. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Onder het ‘journalistieke’ voorwendsel om te onderzoeken wat hen ‘beweegt’ geven media al jaren en jaren pagina’s en tv- en radio-ruimte aan rechts-extremistische types. Nu weer een volstrekt overbodige tv-serie van Mischa Blok. “Fascism will be televised”. Wanneer houdt dit eens op?

Russia increased attacks on Ukrainian civilians again last night and carried out strikes that damaged a UNESCO World Heritage site in Kyiv. These are war crimes, and Russia will have to answer for them. (1/2)

In Kharkiv, five State Emergency Service rescuers were killed while extinguishing a fire after a repeated Russian strike. At least five more were injured‼️ Double taps are the deliberate murder of first responders. Russia does it on purpose.

⚡️Ukrainian marines have knocked out the invaders from some of the islands between Kherson and Oleshky, — commander of the 34th Marine Brigade Dmytro Pulinets These are the islands of Oleksiyivskyi, Kruhlyk, Korabeliv.

Ukraine just blew up the oil depot in Rybinsk. Russia's air defense network is really pathetic.

1/ An increasingly severe shortage of fuel is gripping wide areas of western Russia as well as occupied regions of Ukraine. Russian warbloggers report that there is no fuel at all in some regions, with fuel rationing affecting the army as well as civilians. ⬇️

Russia promised Kyiv in two days. Ukraine has now struck 30 of its 32 major oil refineries. 40% of refining capacity offline. By autumn, whatever fuel survives goes straight to the war. Putin called it "Dvizhuha." Ukraine called it a target list.

A fire broke out in Reutov near Moscow after a drone attack, roughly 600 meters from NPO Mashinostroyeniya. The defense enterprise is linked to development of Russia’s Zircon hypersonic missile and Avangard strategic missile system. #Russia

Ukrainian emergency crews battling the fire, including at the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, following the Russian strike.

Trump last night: Praises Putin to the New York Times and promises to bully Ukraine (again) into handing over more land and people to Russia. Putin last night:

Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra: Monastery founded in Kyiv's caves in 1051, spiritual heart of Kyivan Rus' & Eastern Orthodoxy centuries before Moscow even existed. UNESCO site with saints' relics & Baroque churches. Russian fascists struck the Dormition Cathedral with a ballistic missile.

In addition to striking the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv, Russia also damaged the St. Nicholas Cathedral in Dnipro during last night's attack. The cathedral, a historic landmark of the city, is home to the Dnipro House of Organ and Chamber Music, one of Ukraine's most well-known organ concert venues

Ukraine’s 40th Marine Brigade is using Barracuda unmanned boats for patrols and combat missions in the Dnipro delta and near Kinburn Spit. Recent operations launched FPV drones and bombers near Russian positions, destroying observation posts, ammo depots and logistics elements. #Ukraine

🇺🇦 Senior Lieutenant of AFU "Alex": The enemy is experiencing a growing shortage of drivers, both military and civilian. Drivers in the military are being transferred en masse, while civilians are being fired and refusing to drive because they want to live.

The aftermath of tonight’s Russian strike on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the holiest sites in Orthodox Christianity.

The gullible idiots are, as always, those who thought Trump might do something good for the Iranian people.

Russia struck the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, setting its roof on fire. Built in the 11th century, the cathedral is the main church of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Ukraine's most important Christian shrines.

Russians struck the famous Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra Monastery, one of Ukraine's oldest Orthodox churches. Monks are trying to save devotionals. Barbarism made in Russia.

Cannot imagine a more telling sign of Russian desperation. A wonderful, historic landmark of tremendous cultural value being attacked out of fear and what must be a growing understanding of Russian failure.

The Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the most sacred places in the Orthodox Christian world, is being consumed by flames right now after a Russian strike

UKRAINIAN RELENTLESSNESS IS TURNING THE FUEL SUPPLY SCREW ON RUSSIA An attack on the Rybinsk plant that stores and pumps refined fuels into smaller depots for delivery across the Moscow region has lead to the near shut down of petrol and gas deliveries in the capital. This is the first time it’s

This is the Assumption Cathedral at the Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv, one of the most sacred sites in Ukraine. The Russians blew it up in 1941. And they tried to do it again last night. We will repair it again. And we will not surrender to these terrorists and war criminals.
