The recognition of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine by world Orthodoxy continues, and at least two other churches are "at a very short distance" from recognition. This was stated by the fifth president, leader of the European Solidarity Party Petro Poroshenko on the air of the program "Countdown" on the channel "UA:Pershy".

He noted that a third of the world's orthodoxy has already recognized Ukraine, Channel 5 reports.

"Why did this even become possible? Because neither Putin nor Kirill ever believed that we would get the Tomos. But this process can no longer be stopped. Already a third of the world's Orthodoxy, where the Ukrainian Church is one of the 15 Orthodox sister churches, has recognized Ukraine. I know for sure because I am still holding negotiations, using diplomatic opportunities, that at least two Orthodox Churches are just steps from recognition, and only the pandemic is standing in the way," Petro Poroshenko said.
