After the ROC hierarch visited the historic sites, in the Throne Hall of the Corinthian Metropolis, "there was a discussion on current church topics, including the Ukrainian issue, raised by the honoured guest."
Earlier, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, while visiting Cyprus, met with the Primate of the Cypriot Orthodox Church, Archbishop of Cyprus Chrysostomos II, with whom he discussed the Ukrainian “autocephaly”.
