"Dear friends, tomorrow, September 4, 2024, at 14:30, a court hearing will take place regarding the Upper Lavra; on September 5, 2024, at 12:00, a court hearing will be held regarding the eviction of monks from the Lower Lavra," the message reads.

As previously reported by the Union of Orthodox Journalists, on August 5, another court hearing was held regarding the obstruction of UOC believers' access to the churches of the Upper Lavra in the Kyiv-Pechersk Monastery. Earlier, on August 1, the Northern Commercial Court of Appeal in Kyiv heard a case concerning the eviction of monks from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra (Lower Lavra). Both hearings were postponed.
