⚡️On June 4, during the withdrawal of the units of 79th Air Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Svyatogorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, the Ukrainian nationalists set fire to All Saints' of the Russian Land wooden skete the Svyatogorsk Lavra.

▫️According to the local residents, the wooden walls under the dome were shelled by incendiary munitions from a high-caliber machine gun mounted on a Kozak Ukrainian armoured vehicle.

▫️After commiting the arson, the Ukrainian nationalists headed southbound at a high speed, towards a Ukrainian troops-contolled locality of Sviridovo.

❗️Units of the Russian Armed Forces that were to the north of Svyatogorsk do not carry out any combat operations in this area and do not shell the territory of the historical and architecture reserve of Svyatogorsk.

ℹ️ The All Saints' of the Russian Land wooden skete in Svyatogorsk was built in 2009 instead of the exploded one in 1947.
