On 30 January 2024, the "acting abbot of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" from the OCU Avrahamiy Lotysh and a group of chaplains from this structure held their "prayer service" in the Far Caves of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, as reported on the Facebook page of the OCU "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra".
"Today in our Ukrainian shrine – the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra – the OCU chaplains, together with the abbot of the Lavra Archimandrite Avrahamiy performed a prayer service for the victory of Ukraine over the aggressor, for our army, authorities and all the Ukrainian people," says the message. “The prayer sounded near the venerable Caves saints resting in the Far Caves of the Lavra".
As reported, earlier Avrahamiy Lotysh said that the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is only for the OCU and there can be no coexistence with UOC.
On 20 January 2024, the head of the OCU, Epifaniy Dumenko, together with Lotysh, opened a Sunday school in the Lavra residence of the UOC Primate, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry.
