On October 28, 2020, Mayor of Pochaev Vasily Sergeevich Boyko made a request to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to confirm that he is not the author of the petition registered on the website of the President of Ukraine on the transfer of the Pochaiv Lavra for use to the OCU, reports the website of the Pochaiv City Council.

The message says that the mayor of Pochaev V.S. Boiko has nothing to do with the petition "since any person can register under such a name and surname on the website of electronic petitions of the CMU."
