"Epifaniy of the OCU gave a comment to the Greek media about the meeting in Amman, in which, in particular, he said that it is impossible to solve the Ukrainian issue without Ukraine itself. Absolutely true. His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufriy of Kyiv and all Ukraine is going to Amman," Archpriest Mykola Danylevych said.
A meeting of the Primates of Orthodox Churches was scheduled on February 26 in Jordan's capital, Amman, to discuss the Ukrainian Church issue.
Only four Primates have attended the meeting: the initiator of the meeting, Patriarch Theophilus of Jerusalem, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, Patriarch Irenaeus of Serbia, and Metropolitan Rostislav of the Czech Lands and Slovakia. The Romanian and Polish Churches have sent their representatives to the meeting, but not their heads.
Other Orthodox Churches have ignored this meeting.
