Ukrainian workers are conducting emergency repairs to the historic Dormition Cathedral, part of the UNESCO-protected Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery that was damaged in an Russian strike on June 15. While priceless items were moved to safety, experts warn that soot from the fire and seeping moisture continue to threaten other historic artifacts. A full restoration could take up to a year.
