The commission began its work on January 2 of this year and was engaged in inventorying the property, as well as drawing up a technical inspection report for two buildings. The work of the Commission provided a comprehensive description of the property of the Assumption Cathedral and the Tabernacle Church, the condition of iconostases and icons, and other property in order to return it to the balance keeper.
According to the results of the commission's work, the corresponding Act of return of buildings was signed by the UOC. Despite the fact that Metropolitan Pavlo, who was supposed to sign the Act, did not appear at the last meeting of the commission, this is not an obstacle to the return of state property," Tkachenko explained.
"The Dormition Cathedral and the Tabernacle Church of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra returned to the state from the use of the UOC," the Ministry of Culture said.
The MKIP explained that the absence of Metropolitan Pavel was recorded by the members of the Commission, and the Act itself, signed by the Reserve, was sent to the other party for perusal.
