The leadership of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra Reserve refuses to turn on the heating in the monastery premises where people are located.
A source in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra told an UOJ correspondent that the Reserve refuses to turn on the heating in the monastery premises.
Moreover, officials promised that the heating would not be turned on at all. According to representatives of the Lavra, all this is being done in order to “survive” the people from the monastery buildings they occupy.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" Reserve demanded that the Lavra vacate Building 68.
