In the video, cultural figures talk about their position regarding the granting of autocephaly to the Ukrainian Church.

In particular, Ruslana Lyzhichko claims that "a spiritual practice is impossible in "not one's own "language".

Earlier, political scientist Dmitry Korneychuk has noted that the authorities with the help of Filaret are trying to split the Ukrainian society on a religious topic, and explained that such "black" political technology for the division of the country has not been used yet.

Also, Filaret said that after the recognition of the Single Local Church, the property of the UOC should become the property of a newly established church structure. Later, the head of the UOC KP assured that the transfer of religious communities to the future church structure would be carried out voluntarily.
