Peskov describes Ukrainian authorities' actions toward Kievo-Pecherskaya Lavra as unlawful

MOSCOW. March 17 (Interfax) - The Ukrainian authorities' actions in the situation around the Kievo-Pecherskaya Lavra proves once again that the decision to conduct the Russian special military operation is right, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.

"Beyond any doubt, the Kiev regime by these unlawful actions and encroachments on the church is once again demonstrating its nature, the nature that we are counteracting, the nature that we must suppress as a result of the operation that we are conducting. It once again proves and shows that everything that we are doing is absolutely right," Peskov told reporters.
