The representative of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Peskov, called on the world community to “respond” to this decision.
The Ukrainian government’s demand for UOC-MP monks to leave the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is allegedly “unprecedented” and “unacceptable.” This was stated by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Peskov, at a briefing on Monday, March 13.
The representative of the ruling regime of the aggressor country also called on the international community to “respond.”
“This is a completely unprecedented attitude among the representatives of the church, the Russian Orthodox Church (as he described in UOC-MP – ed.). We consider it unacceptable and, of course, we believe that the The world community must respond appropriately to such a daring decision,” the Russian official said.
He added that the Kremlin is “concerned” about the situation around the Lavra.
Please note that the National Reserve of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra will not renew the lease of the Holy Dormition Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. In this regard, the monks of the monastery are advised to leave the monastery before March 29.

Another priest of the UOC-MP in Lisichansk, Luhansk region, surrendered the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the enemy.
