The Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate does not know which school at the monastery is being investigated by journalists from “Investigation. Info.”

This was stated in a comment to “Social” by the head of the Synodal Information and Educational Department of the UOC-MP, Metropolitan Kliment.

He assured that the school was not created in accordance with the decision of the Holy Synod of the UOC, and the educational institution itself is not officially registered.

According to him, only a theological academy is located on the territory of the Kyiv monastery “Holosiivska Pustyn”.

“It is impossible to understand what exactly is being discussed. Are there specific names, specific places? Because everything was hidden there, it was shown from a hidden camera, somewhere in incomprehensible rooms. Where those rooms were and who they were talking to directly is also unclear. They showed how the children came in. Maybe they just came. Thousands of people visit the monastery every day,” the metropolitan noted.

Earlier, Poroshenko responded to the story about the underground school at the monastery of the Moscow Patriarchate. According to the fifth President, the “Russian world” is poisoning the brains of Ukrainian children from within, and this requires systematic countermeasures at the state level.
