The President reminded that Ukraine was “mother” to the Russian Orthodox Church.

The President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko calls on world to support the granting of autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

He said this in an interview to the Serbian TV channel RTS, the press service of the head of state.

“Every country has the right to an independent Church. On July 28 we will mark 1030-anniversary of the baptism of Ukraine. It then created the Ukrainian Church. Ukraine is the mother Church of Constantinople. And then Ukraine was “mother” to the Russian Orthodox Church. Exactly, and not Vice versa. And today, Russia wants to prevent us have its own independent Church,” – said Poroshenko.

He assured that the establishment of an independent Church supports more than half of Ukrainians.

“I hope that with God’s help we will get the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Church. Support from others for us, this means a lot,” said the President.

Recall, Petro Poroshenko officially took an appeal to the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew regarding the autocephaly of the Orthodox churches of Ukraine. Thus, the appeal gave Patriarch Filaret and Metropolitan Macarius with the signatures of all the bishops of the UOC-Kyiv Patriarchate and the UAOC.

One Local Church may appear in Ukraine for the celebration 1030-anniversary of the baptism of Kievan Rus, that is, until the end of July.

Meanwhile , the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate of the autocephaly does not support. Like, enough for them to be subordinate to Moscow.

April 22 became known that the Ecumenical Patriarchate began the procedures necessary for granting of the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

The Ecumenical Patriarch stated that the uncanonically Moscow annexed the Ukrainian Church and neglected the rights of the Metropolitan of Kiev.
