On his Facebook page, “Archimandrite” Avrahamiy Lotysh said that now there will be “no more pockets of the ‘Russian world’ in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra” and boasted that now after every “divine service in the Ukrainian Lavra” the “God is great united” is heard.

“We are told that we are too patriotic, that we have no grace and are over-politicized. Obviously our misguided brothers of the MP, who are still in spiritual error, forget about one simple truth: “The Spirit breathes wherever it wants, and you hear its voice, but you do not know where it comes from and where it goes” (Jn 3:8)”, – added Lotysh.
