The Minister of Culture Oleksandr Tkachenko commented on the aggressive actions of representatives of the UOC MP, which today hindered the work of the commission of the Ministry of Culture in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.

Tkachenko wrote about this on Facebook.

"We must state that due to physical obstacles on the part of the UOC MP, the Commission for the acceptance and transfer of state property of the National Reserve "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" could not start work today," the minister said.

According to him, the representatives of the monastery from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, which are part of the Commission, could not explain who has the keys to the building, the inspection of which was planned.

In addition, numerous unknown persons prevented the members of the Commission from entering the building.

The head of the Ministry of Culture warned that a complaint was filed with the police for obstructing the work of the Commission.

"The brutal behavior of the representatives of the UOC-MP towards the representatives of the Commission is deeply inconsistent with their appeals to God," he is convinced.

Tomorrow, the Commission will continue its work in any case, the minister emphasized.

We will remind that by March 29, the priests of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate had to vacate all the buildings of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and hand over the property to the state.

However, yesterday the faithful of the UOC MP gathered in the Lavra and even had a loud argument (video).

Today, a crowd of believers of the Moscow Patriarchate was again present in the Lavra.

Not without scandals.

In particular, the faithful, incited by the priests, expelled the commission of the Ministry of Culture.

The scandalous Metropolitan Pavlo of the UOC MP once again cursed journalists and threatened media representatives with physical force.

And one of the priests of the Moscow Patriarchate broke the journalist's camera (video).
