The web site of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP) published a commentary of the Head of its Department of External Church Relations, Archbishop Mytrofan of Bila Tserkva and Bohuslav on the passing by the Supreme Council of the language bill.

“In this regard, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church leaves the question of the status of the Russian language in Ukraine to the consideration of the society. At the same time, our Church strongly objects to dividing the Ukrainian society by the discussions on the language issue and their threatening the integrity of the Ukrainian State.

We are calling everyone taking part in the mentioned discussion to a constructive dialogue and to making weighed decisions for the good of the people of Ukraine,” says the commentary in particular.”
