"The Synod of the Moscow Patriarchate follows the Kremlin’s isolationist policy in response to the legitimate decisions of the international community,” Archbishop Yevstratiy (Zorya), the spokesman of Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyiv Patriarchate, responded on his Facebook page to the decision of the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church to break the Eucharistic communion with the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
“Since 1991, Patriarch Kirill has been personally an architect of the division of the Ukrainian Church. Therefore, it is difficult for him to admit the guilt of 27 years of false activity, which involved the entire Plenitude of Orthodoxy into a conflict. But after his tenure, the situation will be cured. Patriarch Kirill and the Russian Orthodox Church will return to the communion. Now, all those who belong to the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine, are now faced with a question: to follow the ROC, to split or stay in unity with the Universal Orthodoxy through the Local Ukrainian Church?”
