Protodeacon Vadim Novinsky said that the seizure of Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is carried out in the interests of the Constantinople Patriarchate. About it writes Pravblog with reference to the site of Novinsky.

“The seizure of the Lavra is not a concern for “spiritual independence”, but actions in the interests of a foreign center – the Phanar and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, who seek at any cost to get a number of ancient temple complexes in Ukraine in the stavropigia and, who are fully responsible for the ongoing persecution,” – wrote Protodeacon.

He added that it is the fanariots who “provoke actions that entail confusion and schism”.
