Earlier, a representative of the OCU, Evstratiy Zorya, said that the Holy Dormition Kiev-Pechersk Lavra was re-registered to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
“It's not about transfer.
In fact, the registration of the legal entity of the OCU took place on the territory of the National Reserve "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" in the monastery, which is located opposite the territory of the Upper Lavra and is under the jurisdiction of the reserve," Tkachenko quoted TASS as saying.
On December 2, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the Kyiv authorities would ban the activities of religious organizations that Kyiv believes are affiliated with Russia.
