The Kremlin denied on Monday that Russian forces had struck a cathedral in the Ukrainian city of Odesa and said, without providing evidence, that a rocket launched by Ukraine had hit it.
Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskiy on Sunday said a Russian missile had slammed into Odesa’s Spaso-Preobrazhenskyi Cathedral, or Transfiguration Cathedral.
