On April 22, 2023, during the Vespers in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a drunken activist tried to enter the temple of Agapit of the Caves, calling the faithful and then the police, who took her away, the UOJ correspondent reports.

The activist called the believers "Orthodox devils" sitting at the trough, and the police "fertilizer in uniform."

As the UOJ reported earlier, His Beatitude led the Vespers in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
