Even after almost eight months of Ukraine's war against the Russian Federation and the formal separation of the UOC-MP from the Russian leadership, and a statement of full independence, the organization still follows the instructions of the Russian Orthodox Church.

This is evidenced by the data published by Glavkom, according to Espresso.

Thus, the dioceses of the UOC-MP will be obligated to adhere to mandatory circulars on the protection of church virtues by the chancellery of the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church. And Ukrainian priests are invited to visit Moscow.

Also, the chancellery of the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church claims that the blasphemous Bolsheviks, who, according to the Kremlin, "created Ukraine", are to blame for the everyday victims of Russian missile strikes. However, one just needs to live according to the Gospel Commandments and wait for the Second Coming of Christ.

In turn, on May 11, 2022, Kirill invited all bishops to Moscow for the Divine Liturgy and International Educational Readings.

There's also an issue of creating artificial obstacles for representatives of state and local government bodies to withdraw from the subordination of the structures of the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine and their accession to the OCU.

It is noted that the priests of the Russian Orthodox Church and the UOC also exchange greetings on the occasion of various holidays.
