The commission of the National Reserve "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra", sent on March 30, 2023, to the Lower Lavra, could not get into any of the temples and buildings of the monastery.

As a UOJ correspondent reports, faced with the resistance of believers, members of the commission left the Lavra.

As reported, one of the commission members said that if there are enough grounds, they will turn to law enforcement agencies due to the fact that they were not allowed to carry out inspections.
