Zelensky Regime's Police Raid Kiev-Pechersk Lavra: Ukrainian Orthodox Church
08:34 15.08.2023 (Updated: 09:39 15.08.2023) According to reports issued earlier, the locks were cut from a hotel building belonging to the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, and that the police, armed with sub-machine guns, went inside.
Police officers have cordoned off three buildings that are part of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, and are storming the premises, the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) said on Tuesday.
"Right now, the police are storming the Lavra’s 54th, 57th and 58th buildings, where both pilgrims and some monks reside," the UOC said in a message published on its Telegram account.
According to the UOC, police officers “have already cut the locks and broke into the [Lavra’s] 57th building.”
The reported developments come after Gennady Askaldovich, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s special representative for Cooperation to Promote Respect for the Right to Freedom of Religion, slammed the eviction of the monks from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, branding the move as more lawlessness and despotism by the
Zelensky regime."If this decision [on the eviction] is carried out, the schismatics will have a direct path to seize and close the great Orthodox shrine. Another act of lawlessness and arbitrariness has taken place on the part of the Kiev regime, which fabricated a lawsuit and got the verdict it needed," Askaldovich said in a statement.
On Thursday, a Kiev court upheld a claim against the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra to remove all obstacles to the use of property.
The monks can now be evicted, sources familiar with the court decision told Sputnik. Ukrainian media reported, in turn, that a commission from the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture and Information Policy had sealed off four buildings that are part of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
Nikita Chekman, a Kiev-Pechersk Lavra attorney and UOC archpriest, castigated the court’s decision as "one of the most shameful in Ukrainian history."
