UNESCO Should Expel Russia: Kyiv's Millennium-Old Cathedral Under Fire

On the night of June 15, 2026, a Russian strike hit the very heart of Ukrainian identity. The Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a gem inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, suffered serious damage. A state that deliberately destroys the heritage of mankind can no longer remain among the guardians of this heritage.

RazomUA - UNESCO Should Expel Russia: Kyiv's Millennium-Old Cathedral Under Fire

Crime Against History

Bombing history, culture, and the identity of a people is a war crime. Ukrainian and French society refuses to leave this act unanswered.

"A state that destroys the heritage of humanity has no place in UNESCO."
– International appeal, Ukrainian and French society

International Mobilization

At the initiative of the World Congress of Ukrainians, UUF, Unis pour l'Ukraine, and CRCUF, an international petition calls for mass signing and sharing of this appeal to protect our shared memory.
