The Pechersk District Court of Kiev ordered the police to enter information  in the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations about a criminal offense against a person who instructed the radicals on how to provoke priests and believers of the UOC, Archpriest Nikita Chekman, Lavra's lawyer, said in his telegram channel.

“On social networks, the latter spread messages that offend the feelings of believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by their content and gave clear instructions on how to provoke clergy and believers of the UOC. We hope that the police will comply with the court decision and will objectively conduct an investigation into the specified criminal proceedings,” the lawyer wrote.

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that Karas called on radicals to attack believers in groups in the Lavra. He also instructed how to properly provoke priests and believers of the UOC.
