On March 30, 2023, the government declared invalid the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of 2013 on the transfer of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra to the use of the UOC.
The Minister of Culture of Ukraine Oleksandr Tkachenko wrote about this on his Telegram channel.
“The government has just declared invalid the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine under Yanukovych dated July 11, 2013 No. 519 “The issue of transferring buildings and structures to the Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra (monastery) of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for free use,” Tkachenko said.
According to him, “by a number of legal decisions, the management of the Lavra property passed to the state as it is the state that owns these objects”.
As earlier reported, Metropolitan Clement said there are no legal grounds for the eviction from the Lavra.
