“Metropolitan” of the OCU Mikhail Zinkevich said that “another Tomos is waiting, that the UOC will be called the Kyiv Patriarchate, and it will be headed by the patriarch.” He said this in an interview with Delо.
Speaking about the interfaith future of Ukraine, he said: “All the proposed options are aimed at one thing – that in Ukraine there should be the only large nationwide local Orthodox church. Such general sentiments. And the paths to this goal are different. They have not even taken shape in at least two directions, there are now dozens of them. But there are sentiments.
The first stage is not a commemoration in the churches of the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine during the service of the Moscow Patriarch Kirill, the second is to find the format of the Moscow Patriarchate of coexistence with the Russian Orthodox Church, the third is when all the MP churches in Ukraine unite around Onufry, the fourth is complete autocephaly Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine, etc.
These are the directions that are currently being worked on, and it is not clear how all this will be crowned. When there is a victory, these moods will soon take shape, and soon there will be another Tomos. I am waiting for another Tomos and that the UOC will be called the Kyiv Patriarchate and it will be headed by the patriarch.”
