Recall that the next round of the conflict around the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra occurred as a result of the notification of the UOC of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine about the termination of the rental agreement for the monastery unilaterally, the monks were required to leave the Lavra on March 29. The head of the country’s Ministry of Culture, Alexander Tkachenko, announced that the monks could remain in the Lavra if they transferred to the schismatic OCU. At the same time, the abbot of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, Metropolitan Pavel (Lebed), replied that there could be no compromises on the Lavra, the brethren would stand their ground to the last. In addition, the clergyman added that breaking the lease agreement on the buildings of the Lavra is impossible unilaterally, a court decision is required, a lawsuit on the inadmissibility of terminating the contract was filed with the Kyiv Economic Court.
