Good morning Aleksej and Yubin,

C-lightning is currently known to NOT work with a pruning bitcoind.

lnd has a neutrino mode which is a SPV mode, but neutrino protocol to my knowledge is not in official bitcoind yet (but I have not checked, possibly I am wrong), so you will need to peer with neutrino-supporting bitcoin peer.

Regards,
ZmnSCPxj
