On April 10, 2023, the commission of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine (MCIP) for the transfer and acceptance of state property intends to make another attempt to enter the buildings of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.

“We are working with documentation,” Marianna Tomin, member of the commission, director of the cultural heritage department of the Ministry of Culture, told Interfax-Ukraine.

She said that on Monday, April 10, members of the commission would once again try to get into the monastery buildings to immediately begin work on the acceptance and transfer of the property of the monastery in favor of the state.

On March 13, a commission of the reserve began its work in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, which carried out an audit on the territory of the Near Caves.
