According to Metropolitan Clement, Archimandrite Avraamy, who was appointed today by Epifaniy Dumenko to the position of "acting abbot" of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, "will certainlt be in charge of himself".

"There have been several such cases in the last five years. Only then the OCU didn't know what to do with such acquisitions," Metropolitan Clement stressed.
