Resolutions of the Council of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of 27 May 2022

This is the church that the Moscow Patriarchate’s statement of 2018 calls the canonical church in Ukraine, under Metropolitan Onufriy. Its council met in Kyiv on 27 May 2022 to consider, in its own words, questions that had arisen from the military aggression of the Russian Federation. The resolutions condemn the war as a breach of the commandment not to kill, express disagreement with Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, and report amendments to the church’s statute. They also regret the division of Ukrainian Orthodoxy, say that Constantinople’s actions deepened it, and set three conditions for dialogue with the Orthodox Church of Ukraine: that it stop the seizure of churches, recognise that its own status is “non-autocephalous”, and resolve the question of the canonicity of its bishops.

It is cited in Constantinople Grants Autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine for what the council itself said.
