A second attempt is being made to seize Building 39 in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
According to the UOJ correspondent, the police are armed and do not let believers inside.
Parishioners of the Lavra are defending the monastery and singing the troparion.
Those who were in the gallery – children and women – were led out of there.
Recall that the UOJ is broadcasting live from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in its Telegram channel.
