Фейк Ukrainian "militants" set fire to the All Saints Monastery of the Sviatohirsk Lavra in the Donetsk region

Pro-Kremlin media and telegram channels concerning the Russian Ministry of Defense invented their "truth" about the destruction of the All Saints Monastery of the Sviatohirsk Lavra of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the Moscow Patriarchate in Svyatogorsk, Donetsk region. They convince everyone that the largest wooden church, consecrated 100 years ago, caught fire after the Kozak machine-gun fire from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which they called "militants" in their publications.

The priest Dimitri Lee shot the video of the wooden monastery's fire. The UOC MP is neutral about the perpetrators of the crime. The UOC Information and Education Department reports: “On June 4, 2022, due to hostilities, a large-scale fire occurred on the All Saints Monastery of the Holy Mountains Lavra of the Holy Dormition Sviatohirsk Lavra. The flames engulfed the main temple of the monastery. There is no information about the dead and injured at the moment. " The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky noted that "Russian artillery struck the Sviatohirsk Lavra in today's Donetsk region."

"All Saints' Hermitage destroyed. It was consecrated in 1912. It was first destroyed during the Soviet era. Later it was rebuilt. And so, he was burned by the Russian army.

That same week, on Wednesday, Russian shells exploded in the cells of the monastery's monks. Four people were killed, and four others were seriously injured. Sviatohirsk has been under fire since May.

The occupiers know exactly which object is being shelled. They know that there are no military targets on the territory of the Sviatohirsk Lavra. It is known that there are about 300 civilians fleeing hostilities, including 60 children. But still, the Russian army is shelling the Lavra, like the whole Donbas. Like any other territory and any other object of Ukraine that can be reached. They do not care what turns into ruins.

On May 31, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine appealed to UNESCO to deprive Russia of membership. Ukrainian diplomacy is consistently working on this. Despite Russia, there is no country in Europe that has destroyed so many monuments and cultural and social sites in Europe since World War II. Every church burned by Russia in Ukraine, every school blew up, and every destroyed memorial proves that Russia has no place in UNESCO. What can we talk about with a barbarian or terrorist state? About what artillery shells are better for destroying the historical heritage?

We expect a logical and fair response from the UN and UNESCO. The United Nations and its charter do not provide for alliances with terrorists. Russia's isolation must be complete and held accountable for its crimes, " Zelensky said.
