We will remind, earlier the speaker of the OCU Evstratiy Zorya expressed hope that the state will be able to finally resolve the issue with the stay of monks of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church on the territory of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. Zorya believes that the monastic community of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has no right to stay on the territory of the monastery.
Today the court may decide to evict UOC monks from Kiev-Pechersk Lavra
The Northern Court of Appeal in Kiev has scheduled a hearing today (September 26, 2024) on the case of eviction of monks of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. It is reported that the brethren of the monastery are still in several rooms of the “lower” Lavra and, if the court upholds the decision of the first instance, the monks will have to leave the monastery. About it reports the edition “Informer”.
“The UOC is challenging in appeal the decision of the court of a year ago. Back in August 2023 the court obliged the UOC to release a total of 79 objects, including inside the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra in Kiev. Thus, according to this decision, the UOC has already vacated the Assumption Cathedral, the Refectory Church of St. Anthony and Theodosius of Pechersk and the like. They have passed into the use of the OCU. At the same time, the UOC decided to appeal and, in the meantime, retained the right to use some buildings of the Lower Lavra. In particular, as of the beginning of 2024, it was about three large buildings at once: № 54, 57 and 58”, – stated in the message.
