This was reported by the Union of Orthodox Journalists in its Telegram channel.

The prosecutor asked the court to place the Metropolitan under house arrest with the wearing of a bracelet.

According to him, the investigation found that from February 24, 2022, Metropolitan Pavel decided to "justify Russia's aggression" by "communicating with the parishioners of the monastery."

The canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church reported on April 1 that Metropolitan Pavel (Lebed) was summoned for questioning, as he was charged with inciting interreligious hatred.

The lawyers of the viceroy of the Lavra demanded the recusal of the judge, because he did not satisfy their request to familiarize himself with the originals of the audio files, on the basis of which part of the suspicion is based.
