Estonia has responded to the Russian strike on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsakhna reacted strongly to the overnight shelling of Kyiv, which damaged the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra National Reserve.
The Estonian diplomat emphasized that yet another airstrike by Russian occupiers on this unique religious shrine has once again demonstrated to the world the true barbarism of the Kremlin leadership.
According to him, the aggressor country’s actions demonstrate its complete disregard for humanity’s cultural and historical heritage.
The head of the Foreign Ministry drew the international community’s attention to the cynicism and utter absurdity of Moscow’s propaganda narratives.
For many years, the Russian Federation has been attempting to manipulate religious themes for its own geopolitical purposes, positioning itself as the sole defender of Christian civilization and traditional values.
However, the actual terrorist actions of the Russian army, which is destroying Ukrainian cities on a daily basis, completely refute this hypocritical rhetoric.
“By striking the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, it has once again demonstrated its barbarism and disregard for humanity’s shared heritage. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the holiest monasteries in Christianity. A place of worship that has existed for nearly a thousand years. Today it is burning because of Russia,” emphasized Margus Tsakhna.
