This was reported by the publication "STRANA.ua" with reference to the press secretary of the President of Ukraine Sergey Nikiforov.

"The President of Ukraine does not have a meeting with representatives of the UOC scheduled for today," he said.

He also said that employees of the relevant departments of the president's office met with representatives of the UOC.

Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine Oleksandr Tkachenko said that the monks of the canonical UOC will be able to stay in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra if they go to the schismatics.

The National Reserve "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" obliged the monks of the canonical UOC to leave the buildings of the reserve until March 29.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called the UN's silence on the situation around the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra unacceptable.
