On June 2, 2020, the inter-factional deputy group "For a single local Ukrainian Orthodox Church" was registered in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, reports MP Solomiya Bobrovska, a member of the “Golos” party, on her Facebook page. 

“Today our IFG “For a single local Ukrainian Orthodox Church” was registered in VP,” Bobrovska wrote. “At a time when the Russian Church has become active (it’s not about faith now) and spreads fakes about coronavirus and the Russian-Ukrainian war, it is more important than ever to support those who do not close the doors to people who are looking for either themselves or God. It’s also about state security.”

According to the deputy, the OCU is "exactly one of the pillars in our statehood, and it depends on all of us how strong a foundation we are able to build".

As reported earlier, the "Servant of the People" faction could allow the participation of the heads of the OCU and the UGCC in the negotiations on the Donbass.
