On December 1, 2022, the Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra was registered as a monastery within the PCU.
Since January 1, 2023, the clergy of the UOC MP have no access to the temples of the Upper Lavra, after the National Reserve "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" did not extend the lease term of the Assumption Cathedral and the Refectory Church to this denomination.
In 2023, the Assumption Cathedral and the Refectory Church of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra were returned to the state balance from the use of the UOC (MP).
