This was stated by the lawyer of the monastery, Archpriest Nikita Chekman.

"The preparatory hearing in the case is scheduled for April 26 at 11:00 in the premises of the Economic Court of The city of Kiev," RIA Novosti quoted Chekman as saying.

Earlier, the national reserve "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" obliged the monks of the canonical UOC to leave the buildings of the reserve until March 29.

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.

Ministers of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra filed a lawsuit in the court of Ukraine demanding to challenge the rights to the monastery, but three judges recused themselves.

The Federation Council of Russia called on the parliaments of the countries of the world to demand that Ukraine stop discriminating against believers.
