The pro-Fanar website published a material stating that in the near future the two Patriarchates will recognize OCU. Similar “announcements” have appeared before. In some cases they coincided with reality, in others they did not. Therefore, it is impossible to assert the inevitability of a new recognition, writes Pravblog.
The information circulates against the background of the activation of the corresponding work of the American side with a number of Local Churches, writes the Telegram channel.
“For both the United States and Phanar, the scenario of additional recognition of Dumenko’s organization before Patriarch Bartholomew’s visit to Kiev looks extremely beneficial. This would strengthen the position of the latter in negotiations with the Ukrainian authorities and would allow the Istanbulites to hope for the landmark results of their leader’s voyage to the capital of Ukraine.
Moreover, the Phanariots would have intercepted the initiative in the church direction. In particular, on the issue of blocking the next meeting of the “Amman format””, writes Pravlog.
From the list of patriarchates “there are still hopes that both the Georgian and Jerusalem Patriarchates will not take the appropriate step. But with the Romanians and Bulgarians, a very difficult situation has developed.
However, let’s hope that the material published on the profane resource is nothing more than a tool within the framework of informational influence and PR,” writes the Telegram channel.
