"The commission has completed its work. There were representatives of the monastery at each object – the inspection took place in a calm working environment, without manipulation. <...>. Until 16:00, the caves will be open today," said the keeper of the caves.
As reported, the authorities of Ukraine have closed access to the caves with the relics of the Kyiv Caves saints.
