Head of UOC-KP Filaret accuses UAOC in collaboration with Moscow
"Regarding the Autocephalous Church, the Autocephalous Church does not have a great influence in Ukraine. It only prevents and serves the interests of Moscow. People should know and understand that," he stressed.
This was said by the head of the UOC-KP on September 11 at the consecration of the Holy Virgin Church in the town of Perechin.
As reported, before leaving Filaret spoke with journalists and answered their questions.
