Barrages of Russian missiles kill people and ruin iconic sites in UNESCO-protected Odesa. The largest-ever attack on a major port vital for world food security is an attack on the entire global community. I urge all states and organisations to condemn this barbaric war crime. pic.twitter.com/8ab27Y0D4A Advertisement: — Dmytro Kuleba (@DmytroKuleba) July 23, 2023

Man that sucks to hear. I am not religious but i really like old church buildings and cathedrals. It's an amazing piece of art and architecture, not to mention the historical and cultural value.

How would Russia feel if St. Basil’s Cathedral was hit?
