Believers of the Moscow Patriarchate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church pray near the entrance to the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra cave monastery in Kyiv in an attempt to interfere with the work of the commission of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, who is to carry out the procedure of the transfer of the monastery to state ownership. Believers of the Moscow Patriarchate protest as Ukrainian authorities demand that pro-Moscow Orthodox priests leave the territory of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra cave monastery by the end of March 2023.
