One of the visits of Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople to Kyiv is an “epoch-making event” that the Moscow Patriarchate “could not disrupt, and now, in despair, is trying to denigrate and demonize it.” This was told by the propagandist of the OCU, Alexander Efremenko.

He wrote that, “according to the same canons, Kirill now does not have the right to come to Ukraine without an appropriate invitation from His Beatitude Metropolitan Epiphany. Kirill may visit even his branch in Ukraine only with the permission of His Beatitude Epiphany.

Therefore, no matter how such a visit by Kirill took place, he would be non-canonical and difficult to explain himself,” writes the “expert” of the OCU.

Why, apart from the head of the Phanar, none of the primates of the Churches arrived in Kyiv, Efremenko also did not explain.

Earlier, Efremenko told how dangerous the church activities of the UOC are.
