The last time the Dormition Cathedral was destroyed, German forces occupied Kyiv. This week, the attack was Russian. Architectural journalist Asya Zolnikova traces a millennium of history.

On June 15, 2026, the roof of the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra caught fire after a Russian drone attack on Kyiv. In January 2026, the centuries-old monastery complex had already been damaged in Russian military operations — the first such harm to the Lavra since World War II. The monastery has been destroyed and rebuilt many times, yet this week’s mangling is exceptional, and UNESCO and European political leaders have already responded. Architecture journalist Asya Zolnikova reports.

Today marks #Ukrainian Statehood Day — a day that affirms a legacy of over a thousand years.

In 988, Volodymyr the Great adopted Christianity for #Kyivan Rus, laying the foundations for institutions, diplomacy, and identity that has endured across centuries.

"I'm glad to see he'll face justice!"

A #Kyivan stole 10,000 hryvnias from the office of a capital hospital, which a nurse collected for her child's surgery.

The police arrested the man after a few days. The native of #Kyiv faces up to 8 years in prison.

This is what #Kyiv looked like about a thousand years ago, when #Moscow did not even exist

"#Kyivan_Rus, First Eastern Slavic state. It was founded by the #Viking_Oleg, ruler of #Novgorod from c. 879, who seized #Smolensk and #Kyiv (882), which became the capital of #Kyivan #Rus." - #Encyclopædia_Britannica

Yesterday, during a massive attack, a #Kyiv resident saved neighbouring cars from catching fire

Last day, during the shelling, debris fell on a parking lot in the #Sviatoshyn district of the capital, causing several cars to catch fire.

The owner of one of them got into a burning car and drove it away from other cars so that they did not catch fire. The man received burns but saved people's cars from the fire.

Today, the #Kyivan was awarded by the police. Our people are indomitable.

Being a hexagonal ingot used for trading in the 12th century on the territories of the #Kyivan Rus, the hryvnia became the official currency of modern #Ukraine after it regained its independence.
