Kyiv Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv, amid Russian invasion of Ukraine


Ukrainian police officers stand guard and check cars at the entrance to Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, also known as the Kyiv Monastery of the Caves, in Kyiv, Ukraine on 29 March 2023, amid Russian invasion of Ukraine. Reserve "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" terminates the lease agreement with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church accused of being linked to the Moscow Patriarchate, with the demand to move out of the monastery by 29 March, as local media reported. Since its foundation as the cave monastery in 1051, the Lavra has been a preeminent center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe. Together with the Saint Sophia Cathedral, the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990.
