The Ukrainian authorities will not resort to the use of physical force against the monks of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra to make them leave the monastery, the secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, Oleksiy Danilov, told Radio Liberty.
At the same time, Danilov noted that the state "will do what is due, taking into account those regulations that are in our territory."
"We are not against the Church. We are not against those people who have something to do with these or those religious processes. But we are against the influence of these things on the state. You should not dictate rights to the state, you should not hold the state hostage," he added.
As reported, the UOC has been kicked out of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
We also wrote that the situation with the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra would be addressed by the UOC Synod.
