STORYLINE:
A Kyiv court ordered a leading priest to be put under house arrest on Saturday after Ukraine's top security agency said he was suspected of justifying Russian aggression, a criminal offense.
It was the latest move in a bitter dispute over a famed Orthodox monastery.
Metropolitan Pavel is the abbot of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery, Ukraine’s most revered Orthodox site.
He has denied the charges and resisted the authorities' order to vacate the complex.
In a court hearing, the metropolitan said the claim by the Security Service of Ukraine, known as the SBU, that he condoned Russia’s invasion was politically driven and that he had “never been on the side of aggression.”
After the court's ruling, a monitoring bracelet was placed around his ankle, despite his objections that he has diabetes and should not wear it.
The house arrest was to last two months.
The monks in the monastery belong to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which has been accused of having links to Russia.
The dispute surrounding the property, also known as the Monastery of the Caves, is part of a wider religious conflict that has unfolded in parallel with the war.
The Ukrainian government has cracked down on the UOC over its historic ties to the Russian Orthodox Church, whose leader, Patriarch Kirill, has supported Russian President Vladimir Putin in the invasion of Ukraine.
Many Orthodox communities in Ukraine have cut their ties with the UOC and transitioned to the rival Orthodox Church of Ukraine, which more than four years ago received recognition from the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.
The UOC has insisted that it’s loyal to Ukraine and has denounced the Russian invasion.
The government had ordered the monks to leave the compound by March 29.

This action is wrong. God sees all things.
It didn't work in Vietnam and it won't work in Ukraine, you will end up losing
Изгнание из церквей, исповедующих православную веру, является преступлением. Это антиконституционные действия, они нарушают одну из статей конституции - свободу вероисповедания, нарушают международный документ - статью 9 Европейской конвенции о правах человека.
God has abandoned us here in the West.
Slava Ryssia🇷🇺🇦🇺
It's more like the modern Western society has abandoned God so far. Sad to realize so.
And I thought it's just communist regimes that suppress religious movements. Meanwhile in neoliberal Ukraine...

Theft of church items and harassment of canonical church in this region
This reminds me of apparteid days in South Africa ... Whr the th goverment of that time ...just kicked people out of thr homes, took thr land properties as you whr considered being a enemy ot the state for practicing free- will.
So... they stole a church by law?
Priest , Father....
Jesus said' I am not here to judge the world but to be the light in the darkness'.
Stand strong Father you are a man of GOD
You are all blessed you and all the monks with you.
We in Jesus name love you to.
Shalom
The church belongs to the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian people not the FSB controlled cult named "Russian Orthodox Church"
What is the judge saying?
BS DS!
What did he do?
supporting Russia
Pajeet, please show the proof he supports Russia killing Ukrainians?
Speech is a natural right. If you are against free speech you are anti human and pro slavery.
He did nothing except think and express thoughts.
He didn't do anything.
according to the kiev government he is supposedly a pro russian
Good the I speak fluent Ukrainian 😅
If western media would be worth anything they would show us this and translate it. A fact that this is not translated anywhere is vety worrying.
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. - Revelations 2
