Members of the commission of the Ministry of Culture were unable to seal any of the buildings of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and eventually left the territory of the monastery. This is reported by the UOJ correspondent.
Before leaving the territory of the Lavra, representatives of the Ministry of Culture and the Reserve wrote a statement to the police about the "unknowns" who had blocked access to the buildings of the monastery.
After the commission left, people unblocked access to all the premises and returned to the square, where they continued their prayer standing.
As reported by the UOJ, members of the commission of the Ministry of Culture called on the police to "take preventive measures" against the people who'd blocked the buildings of the Lavra.
