The press service of the SBU claims that Metropolitan Pavel (Lebed) of Vyshhorod and Chornobyl is a "former abbot" of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.

That is how the department called him in its Telegram channel, publishing an official message about the presentation of suspicion to the UOC hierarch.

Recall that the abbot of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is accused of criticizing the OCU and the Phanar.
