Ukraine Probes Kyiv Monastery Over Alleged Russian-Style School

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) is investigating the Holosiiv Pustyn monastery in Kyiv for allegedly operating an unlicensed school, Perspektyva, that used Russian-language and Soviet-era materials and functioned as a full-time program, according to reporting by Slidstvo.Info. The inquiry follows broader scrutiny of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church’s ties to the Moscow Patriarchate, with Ukraine’s Education Ministry and State Service for Education Quality stating they will verify the findings amid concerns over Russian efforts to shape children’s identities during the war.
