On March 30, during the standing for the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the UOC believers did not allow members of the reserve commission to start the inspection, reports ‘Politika Strany’ TG channel.
According to the inspectors, while they do not plan to go to the police, in the future this cannot be ruled out.
“At the moment, there are no such grounds. But if they don’t let us in everywhere, we will draw up appropriate acts, on the basis of which the head of the commission can apply to law enforcement officers,” said one of the members of the commission, Oleksandr Ovchar.
AS reported, the Secretary of the NSDC promised not to “carry out by the feet” the brethren of the Lavra.
