A significant part of Ukrainian society and European citizens still do not realize that Russian culture, language, and religious institutions are part of a single system of influence of a hostile state.
Political expert Andriy Smolii spoke about this on the air of “Pryamoye”, emphasizing the danger of attempts to separate military aggression and humanitarian instruments of the Kremlin’s influence.
He noted that all these elements work in close coordination with enemy intelligence services and are aimed at destroying Ukrainian identity.
Commenting on people’s behavior during the shelling and their attitude towards the cultural product of a neighboring country, the guest noted: “Some of our people still do not realize these things that we cannot separate, we cannot separate a Russian missile, a Russian general staff, or a Russian terrorist who stepped on our land. And we cannot separate the things that I just named, because this is a product of Russia, this is a tool of Russia, this is their means of destruction, enslavement.”
The political expert is convinced that the information policy of the neighboring state will remain aggressive even after the hot phase of the war is over. In his opinion, the only way to protect society from future threats is to fully realize that the Russian-language product, bloggers, and religious structures are direct weapons in the hands of the terrorist machine.
As a reminder, on the night of June 15, Russian troops launched a massive attack on Kyiv using ballistic missiles and drones. The shelling killed 4 people and injured at least 23 people, including a child.
During the massive Russian attack on Ukraine on the night of June 15, the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra was damaged . It has been officially confirmed that the Assumption Cathedral was hit by a Russian attack drone of the Shahed type.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga reacted to the Russian attack on the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv. Ukraine is initiating procedures within UNESCO and calling on the international community to respond decisively.
UNESCO subsequently condemned the Russian attack on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra , which is one of the main spiritual and cultural shrines of Ukraine and is included in the World Heritage List.
