As a result of a Russian attack on Kyiv, the Intercession Church was damaged — a church dating from 1906 that is described as the oldest in the Mostytskyy estate and Vynohradar.

This was reported by Volodymyr Nakonechnyy, head of the Podil District State Administration.

The church has damaged windows, domes and an old façade made of yellow Kyiv brick.

"The enemy is not only going after people and their homes. It is trying to destroy our historical and spiritual heritage," the head of the Podil District State Administration said.
