This comes just days after he allegedly cursed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Pavel, the abbot of Ukraine\u2019s Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery, has denied supporting Russia\u2019s aggression and claimed that Ukraine\u2019s action against him was politically motivated. Despite his protests, the court ruled against him, placing him on house arrest for two months and fitting him with an ankle monitor.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) to which Pavel belongs has suspected links with Russia, and the UOC\u2019s holy sites have been raided by Ukrainian authorities. Monks at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery have been ordered to leave by March 29th, but they have refused to do so, claiming that the Ukrainian government&#8217;s accusations are a pretext to force them out. Supporters of the UOC gathered outside the monastery on Saturday to sing hymns and protest Zelensky\u2019s actions against the church.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the U.N. High Commission for Human Rights expressed concern over Ukraine\u2019s \u201cstate actions against the UOC,\u201d which could be \u201cdiscriminatory.\u201d As such, the U.N. urged the country to give a \u201cfair trial\u201d to anyone facing charges. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Ukrainian court placed a leading Orthodox priest under house arrest Saturday, accusing him of justifying Russian aggression days after he allegedly cursed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
