The brethren of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra received a new demand for eviction from building No. 34. Metropolitan Pavel of Vyshgorod, the abbot of the Lavra, stated this in an appeal published by the press service of the monastery.
The hierarch noted that the monks rebuilt the building from the ruins and would not be evicted either from it or from any other building of the monastery.
Metropolitan Pavel also commented on the rumors that appeared in social networks that President Zelensky allegedly instructed to leave the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra and its monks in peace.
“Do not flatter yourself that someone has left us alone. If I received another letter today for us to move out. What are we talking about? They just want to “put us to sleep” so that we don’t say anything, do nothing, just listen to new promises that are not being fulfilled at all,” he added.
