The abbot of the Pochaiv Holy Spirit Monastery-Skete is still being held at the Ternopil TRC

Archimandrite Pafnuty, abbot of the Pochaiv Holy Spirit Monastery of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, who was detained the day before in Kremenets by representatives of the local Territorial Center for the Recruitment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is still being held at the Ternopil Regional Territorial Center. Raskolam.net learned this from its own sources.

According to the publication’s sources, Archimandrite Pafnuty, who is being held at the Ternopil Regional Territorial Recruitment Center, was locked in a cage overnight. The clergyman has not yet been released from the TRC.

We also remind you that the Pochaiv Holy Spirit Monastery-Skete is the same monastery whose expropriation was announced by the state last year. A “clone” of the OCU has already been registered for this monastery, and the head of the local branch of the Ukrainian schism recently gave an interview with thoughts on how and by whom he will populate the monastery.

Thus, there is direct pressure on the monastery’s leadership with the aim of further restricting its activities. Everything is exactly the same as with the Kiev-Pechersk and Svyatogorsk Lavras, where the governors are also isolated from the monasteries and the brethren.
