Maksym Ostapenko, director of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra National Preserve, said more than 20 fire crews worked under continuing missile and drone threats to contain the fire before it spread inside the cathedral. According to Ostapenko, around 800 square meters (8,600 square feet) of roofing were damaged, while artifacts and relics dating from the 16th to 18th centuries that were on display inside the cathedral were evacuated.
