Ancient Cathedral Damaged in Kyiv; War Crimes Question Hinges on Who Was Responsible
A drone hit Kyiv's 800-year-old cathedral on June 14, causing a fire. If Russia did it intentionally, it would break an international rule protecting historical sites—and could lead to charges of war crimes. Russia says it didn't strike the building; they blame Ukraine's air defense instead. Without proof of who fired, investigators can't yet pursue charges. Damage surveys are underway.
