Answering the question of which monastery or hermitage on Holy Mountain Patriarch Bartholomew is ready to transfer to the OCU on the Channel 5, Dumenko said that he plans to visit Athos soon. During his stay on the Athos land, he is going to specifically discuss “where there will be a place for the Ukrainian skete.”

“This raises a number of questions. Firstly, do people on Athos know about the plans of the head of the OCU to come to the Holy Mountain? Secondly, are they ready to seriously discuss with Dumenko the issue of the appearance of a “skete” of his organization, or is everything said above just the fantasies of the leader of the Ukrainian schismatics?

We think this is a very interesting topic. And it would be good if the corresponding words of the head of the OCU were conveyed to the Greek-language media and were reflected in the reaction of the representatives of Athos,” writes Pravblog.
