Details: In this regard, Helensky stated that he hopes for the goodwill of a large part of the clergy of the UOC -MP and believers who understand the “vicinity of such a position.”

If by August 24, the UOC -MP did not comply with the prescription, then the decision to recognize the Metropolitanate of Kiev, which represents the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, affiliated with the prohibited ROC in Ukraine, will be made.

“The second step is a lawsuit to the court to terminate the Metropolitanate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. These are the steps that we are dictated by law,” the head of the civil service emphasized.

He also noted that such a lawsuit may be less prolonged than they hope in the UOC -MP.
