On April 20, 2023, at around 7:00 am, the authorities announced that the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra had been mined. The UOJ became aware of this from its sources.
The territory was cordoned off. A ribbon was hung at the entrance to the Lower Lavra, a fire engine and explosives arrived. Parishioners who came to the services were not allowed into the Lavra.
