Director General of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra National Preserve Maksym Ostapenko visits the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, where the roof of the Dormition Cathedral caught fire during a Russian military operation, in Kyiv, Ukraine, on June 15, 2026. The Russian army conducts a large-scale operation on the Ukrainian capital with missiles and drones, resulting in the deaths of five people and injuries to 28, including children and a pregnant woman. At least 140,000 consumers are left without electricity due to damage to power grids. Residential buildings, the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the Mystetskyi Arsenal Museum Complex, the Dovzhenko Film Studio, and the building of the High Anti-Corruption Court sustain damage.
