The Dormition Cathedral was damaged as a result of the attack. Immediately after the strike, SES rescuers began working. For more than a week, they worked where every meter has special value. Today, June 23, repair and restoration work to preserve the damaged roof has been completed
According to him, the work has been completed 100% of the planned scope. "Heat guns continue to operate at the site to dry the building structures and interior spaces," he reported.

Those who do not seek fame but daily protect what is most precious – the lives, cultural heritage, and future of Ukraine. I thank every rescuer who contributed to this work. For professionalism.
