Epiphanius, Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine, head of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, commented on the position of the Moscow Patriarchate towards Ukraine.
Epifaniy noted that the OCU does not put forward any demands for representatives of the Moscow Patriarchate and are open to dialogue. In addition, they are also ready to forget everything that has been done over the past 30 years.

Metropolitan Epiphany added, that the Orthodox Church of Ukraine does not ask for repentance, but only calls to show a desire for unity. However, he noted that there are those who openly work on the side of the enemy. According to him, this is a solid stain for the entire structure of the Moscow Patriarchate, which operates in Ukraine.
And since they are silent, do not communicate with society, it looks like everyone is working there on the enemy. Therefore, they must nevertheless overcome themselves, raise their voice, declare,” Epiphanius added.
The head of the OCU stressed that they are open to dialogue and unification in a single already recognized autocephalous Orthodox Church.
