The monk of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Archimandrite Roman (Podlubniak), got Channel 5 to show all the lies spread by the Ministry of Culture regarding the use of Lavra buildings by the UOC.
The Channel 5 journalist decided to ask Father Roman a few questions concerning the situation in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. The priest led him to the so-called "Mazepa's wall" and got the cameraman to show it.
"Here is the wall that Mazepa built. It belongs to the Ministry of Culture. Do you like this wall?" Father Roman asked the Channel 5 reporters, pointing to the half-destroyed wall of the monastery.
He then asked the cameraman to turn the camera to the monastery building belonging to the UOC.
"Can you feel the difference?" he asked the Channel 5 journalist.
"Yes, we do," he replied and went on to say, "You are living here for free."
"What do you mean free? Who built all this? It was all built by UOC believers. It's obvious. Are you saying that we are destroying the house we live in? Do you want to prove it? We build where we live, not destroy," stressed Father Roman.
As earlier reported, Metropolitan Clement commented on accusations by the Ministry of Culture that one of the Lavra's buildings, which was transferred to the monastery, was "in an emergency state".
