On March 30, 2023, after the members of the reserve commission left the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the believers decided to continue protecting their shrine.
According to a UOJ correspondent, the parishioners of the Lavra stay overnight in the monastery. To do this, they group up and spread over several temples of the monastery.
As earlier reported, UOC believers did not allow the reserve commission to enter the churches and buildings of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
