A supporter of the UOC-KP, journalist Yuriy Doroshenko, has published Joe Biden’s letter to the “patriarch” Filaret Denisenko. Also, according to him, Filaret “always prays for Biden”, because “he asked for it himself.”

“It turns out that Biden greatly appreciates the Order of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Volodymyr of the UOC-KP, which he received from the hands of the Ukrainian Patriarch, respects him and really asked to be mentioned in prayers. It is interesting that Biden finished his request by hand, which indicates a special respect,” Doroshenko writes.

The letter is dated September 19, 2016. It also says that the author has immense respect for Patriarch Bartholomew, Filaret and all people of the Orthodox faith around the world.
