The attacks by the Russian aggressors prove that they are the ideological heirs of the Nazis
Following a massive Russian attack on the capital, a fire has been reported at the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. There are also reports of casualties and damage in various parts of Kyiv.
There is no crime that the ideological heirs of the Nazis – the Russian imperialists – have not committed. And they systematically replicate everything the Nazis did during the Second World War – the execution of Ukrainians, the creation of concentration camps where prisoners are tortured, the bombing of civilian homes, and much more. The Kremlin’s favourite slogan, ‘We can do it again’, perfectly illustrates the Russian fascists’ copying of Nazi crimes.
On 3 November 1941, during the Nazi occupation, there was the historic bombing and destruction of the Holy Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, for which the Bolsheviks and Nazis blamed one another. On 15 June 2026, a fire broke out at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra as a result of a Russian attack and a direct hit. According to rescue workers, the area of the roof fire at the Assumption Cathedral was 800 square metres. The Russians are copying the Nazis. And this is not the first such attack by Putin’s barbarians. There have been previous strikes on churches and synagogues in Ukraine. And this confirms once again that the Moscow Satanists, who have turned the Russian Orthodox Church into a branch of the FSB, are waging war on faith if that faith is not in Putin or in Russian imperial values.
During the Second World War, the German air force dropped dozens of incendiary bombs on St Paul’s Cathedral in London, but the heroic efforts of firefighters and volunteers saved the architectural monument at the time. Today, the Holy Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is being saved in the same way following an attack by Kremlin vandals. The attack by the Russians, like the attack by the Nazis, had no military justification whatsoever. It is simply a crime committed by war criminals who have long since gone mad in their animalistic fury. And this is what Ukraine must show the world today. All the world’s media must receive this information. All foreign journalists in Kyiv should be immediately invited to the scene of the Russian crime at the Lavra. This must appear in the pages of the world’s media and on Western television channels. And there, Volodymyr Zelenskyy must give an interview stating that Russia is a country that destroys not only civilians but also Orthodox churches. This must be done. And no one will do it in Ukraine’s place.
Last night, the Russians launched a massive combined attack on Kyiv — four people are currently known to have been killed, with a further 30 injured, including two children. Residential blocks have been hit, private homes in Osokorky have been destroyed, and part of the capital is without power. The Russians are not human beings, but biological waste.
My condolences to all those who have lost loved ones and been injured.
