On April 21, 2023, police officers cut the locks on Building 44 of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.

UOJ readers sent a video that clearly shows several policemen opening the door to the "Church Shop" located in the 44th building.

This action of law enforcement officers is filmed on phones by unknown people, who then enter the premises. Several other policemen stand on the outskirts of the building, not letting any of the believers approach it.

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the police blocked Building 39 of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
