Today's feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord will be forever remembered by the inhabitants of ancient Chernihiv... The Kremlin satanists, in their usual manner, "congratulated" my hometown on the holiday at the very moment when people were returning from church services with traditional baskets of blessed apples, and children and parents were resting in the park...
As a result of the Russian missile attack on the city centre, the Shevchenko Drama Theatre was bombed, the Desna Hotel and surrounding residential buildings were damaged, and the windows of the 12th-century Friday Church located nearby were blown out by the blast wave...
But the worst thing is the human cost. Currently, there are more than 120 wounded, including 15 children, and 7 dead, including 1 child. Among the victims are my friends... A friend's brother was killed... My friend's brother was killed... A six-year-old girl who was walking near the drama theatre, which was hit by Russian terrorists, was killed... A woman who was leaving the church was killed... Svitlana Kormiltsyna, a lecturer at the National University "Chernihiv Polytechnic", was killed while walking with her daughter in a nearby park...
What were these civilians guilty of? The terrorists of the 'Russian world' don't care, they are killing us because we are Ukrainians, we want to live in a free state, not be slaves in their imperial concentration camp.
The Kremlin's executioners hide their crimes against humanity under the guise of "concern for faith" and "traditional values". This is probably why they commit the most cynical atrocities and murders on Orthodox holidays.
Chernihiv is a city with more than 1300 years of history, the heart of ancient Rus. Historically, since the 11th century, the Transfiguration Church on the Val has always been the cathedral in Chernihiv, until it was closed by the Moscow Bolsheviks in the 1930s. That is, the Feast of the Transfiguration has historically been the main holiday of the city, a kind of "city day". So, today's Russian missile attack on Chernihiv is no accident. This is how they show their true "faith" and "traditional values". That's all you need to know about "Orthodox" Russia and the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, which blesses these missiles and blesses the war against Rus-Ukraine.
Ukraine is fighting for its freedom and independence at a terrible cost. But victory will certainly be ours. The deaths and suffering of innocent people will boomerang back to the murderers and their descendants to the seventh generation...
Eternal memory to all those who died! Glory to the heroes!
