Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the massive attack on Russia on the night of June 18 was a response to the strikes launched by Moscow a few days ago on Kyiv, especially on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
Modern.az reports that "Euronews" TV channel disseminated this information.
The Ukrainian head of state reacted harshly to Russia's attacks in a statement to journalists: "If Putin does not want to stop this war and intends to continue it, we will not sit idly by, we will respond. If Ukraine burns, Moscow will burn too."
According to the information, as a result of the strikes by the Russian army on Kyiv on June 15, 5 people lost their lives, and the Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God, the main church of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, was severely damaged by fire.
