Удар по Успенському собору та загибель рятувальників: головні трагедії тижня
У ніч на 15 червня російські війська здійснили масовану атаку на Київ, Дніпро та Харків, застосувавши ракети й безпілотники проти житлових будинків та історичних пам'яток. Внаслідок цілеспрямованого російського удару спалахнула велика пожежа на даху Успенського собору Києво-Печерської Лаври. У Харкові під час ліквідації наслідків повторний обстріл забрав життя п’ятьох рятувальників та фахівця із цивільного захисту населення Харківської ОВА. Міста Запоріжжя, Херсон, Слов'янськ та Краматорськ і надалі перебувають під щоденним вогнем окупантів, цього тижня авіація РФ також тероризувала Харків та Суми. Від російської агресії постраждали і тварини — ворог обстріляв зоопарк у Харкові та кінно-спортивну школу на Сумщині.
