“It is regrettable the fact that when the state leadership of Ukraine declares its commitment to democratic norms, the European path of development, respect for human rights and freedom, these rights and freedoms are trampled on in this way today,” Kirill is quoted as saying in TASS.

Now the Ministry of Culture announced that the UOC (MP) should leave the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. In particular, it is about the “lower laurel”. The monastery needs to vacate buildings and structures that are state property and that are on the balance sheet of the Reserve, at the address: Kyiv, st. Lavrska, 11, Kyiv, str.

In particular, we are talking about 36 newly built independent buildings. All of them, the sources note, are commercial and economic premises (that is, they are not directly related to the monastic life/building).
