The Volyn Regional Military Administration has filed a lawsuit in court for the forced eviction of the brotherhood of St. Nicholas Myltsi Monastery of the UOC, reports MP Ihor Huz on his Facebook page.
Officials cited the expiration of the lease agreement for the premises as the reason for the legal attack on the monastery. According to the position of the RMA representatives, the canonical Church community's right to use the monastery complex expired on January 1, 2026.
The initiators of the eviction do not hide that the lawsuit is an instrument for the subsequent transfer of the monastery to the OCU. "I met with priests, parishioners and active people who are ready to do everything possible so that after the Myltsi Monastery is handed to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, monastic and pilgrimage life will thrive here," the politician stated, confirming the authorities' plans to seize the shrine.
At the moment, officials are trying to legalize the expulsion of the monks through administrative resources, ignoring the interests of believers who have been reviving this spiritual center of Polissia for decades.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the OCU promised the MP the prosperity of monasticism in the Myltsi Monastery.
