The Dnipropetrovsk diocese of the UOC (in the unity of the Moscow Patriarchate) commented on the appearance of their bishops in the patriarchal calendar released by the Russian Orthodox Church.
As reported by Suspilne, the diocese stated that they had nothing to do with the publication of the calendar, and that they consider the publication of photos of UOC (MP) metropolitans an act of provocation.
The representative of the diocese, priest Mykolay, noted that there is no communication between them and the ROC.
“There is none. This is their provocation, this is their position, this is not our position. What they printed it, this had nothing to do with us, our position, our Ukrainian Orthodox Church,” he said.
