The Ukrainian government has ordered the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to leave the famous Kiev Monastery of the Caves by 29 March. The church's Theological Academy is also located on this territory. Monks, professors and students of the monastery and academy are apprealing for support. Western academic institutions have also joined the appeal, for example the Faculty of Theology of the University of Münster: https://www.uni-muenster.de/FB2/ (see NEWS of 24 March 2023).
