On April 21, 2023, representatives of law enforcement agencies blocked the 39th building of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, the police cordoned off the passage to Building 39 of the Lavra and did not let anyone from the brethren or believers go there.

The UOJ correspondent reports that the reason for blocking the building is allegedly that a commission of the Ministry of Culture is working inside it.

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the police handed suspicion to four defenders of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
