The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra National Reserve has partially resumed work for visitors since June 19, despite the damage caused by the russian aggressor on June 15.
This is stated in a message on the reserve's Facebook account, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
It is noted that spiritual life in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra continues despite the shelling: during the restoration work in the Assumption Cathedral, divine services of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine will be held in the Refectory Church of the Venerable Anthony and Theodosius of the Caves according to the current schedule.
"We also remind you that since June 19, the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra National Reserve has partially resumed work for visitors. Currently, the Near Caves, the Great Lavra Bell Tower, the Church of the Savior on Berestov, the Refectory Church and museum exhibitions are available. Group excursions by appointment have also been resumed," the message says.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, as a result of the massive russian attack on Kyiv on the night of June 15, there was a direct hit in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra complex, and the roof of the Assumption Cathedral caught fire.
On June 16, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy showed US President Donald Trump a photo of the consequences of the russian attack on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra during a meeting on the sidelines of the G7 summit.
