Orthodox Priest in Ukraine Placed Under House Arrest for Alleged Ties to Russia

The head of Kyiv's Lavra monastery, Metropolitan Pavlo, has been placed under house arrest on charges of justifying Russia's armed aggression. Pavlo, a member of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, recognizes the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church, which has strong ties to the Kremlin and endorsed Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The move by Ukraine to detain a prominent cleric showed the extent to which the war has exacerbated religious tensions and deepened rifts within the Orthodox Church.

A court in Kyiv has placed Metropolitan Pavlo, the abbot of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery, under house arrest for 60 days on charges of inciting inter-religious enmity and justifying Russian aggression. The Ukrainian government has been cracking down on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church over its historic ties to the Russian Orthodox Church. The dispute surrounding the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery is part of a wider religious conflict that has unfolded in parallel with the war. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church has insisted that it's loyal to Ukraine and has denounced the Russian invasion from the start.
