Employees of the Security Service of Ukraine left the territory of the Pochaiv Lavra of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, reports the telegram channel "Pershy Kozatsky".

Representatives of the Security Service of Ukraine left the Pochaiv Lavra at about 16.00 in the evening. Thus, the searches in the monastery lasted for 7 hours.

Earlier the UOJ wrote that in the morning of 30 November 2023, SBU officers came to search the Pochaiv Lavra.

Later, the press service of the SBU announced that representatives of the Pochaiv Lavra made a publication on the monastery's website that insulted the national honour and dignity of Jews.
