On 30 November 2023, priests and parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church continued their daily prayer standing near the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, report Telegram channels "KozakTV1" and "Myriany".

Despite the cold weather, dozens of Orthodox Christians came to the service in front of the Church of St Sergius of Radonezh.

"Activists", one of whom tried to shout the prayer, traditionally positioned behind the worshippers.

As reported, on 29 November 2023, a participant in the service near the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra called on UOC believers to more actively join the prayer standing in defence of the holy shrine and believers' civil rights.
