Human rights activist Viktoria Kokhanovska has been hospitalized due to a sharp deterioration in her health as reported the Lavra's lawyer, Fr. Nikita Chekman on his Telegram channel. He relates this to the "detention" of Kokhanovska near the Lavra on 19 April.

The lawyer also said that the Kyiv-Svyatoshynskyi district court applied round-the-clock house arrest to Kokhanovska as part of a criminal investigation under Part 161 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Intentional acts aimed at inciting national, racial or religious hatred and enmity).

As reported, Viktoria Kokhanovska commented on her "detention".
