The lawyer of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Archpriest Nikita Chekman, published a video on his Telegram channel as a monk of the Lavra, passing by the sealed building, took bread from the hands of a woman and threw it to the hungry defenders of the Lavra.

In the video, a woman approaches the sealed building to pass the bread to the people inside, and a policeman tells her, "Don't cause trouble." She responds, "I'm not causing trouble," and steps back from him.

Meanwhile, a monk from the Lavra passes by, takes the bread from the woman, and throws it to the Lavra defenders on the balcony. The monk seems to want to throw more bread, but people shout to him, "Enough, enough, Father Paphnutius, dear..."

As previously reported, in the Lavra the police banned food and water from being given to people in the sealed building.
