“The property STILL belongs to the church, just not the Moscow Patriarch but the Kyiv Patriarch.”

Those are not recognized or considered Orthodox by any other church in the world, all of whom recognize each other.
All are one except for them.

That Kiev group is the equivalent of a corner grocery store claiming to be an Orthodox church.

It is most definitely not the same church.
They are an outcast, they didn’t have succession from the rest of us, and they hold religious ceremonies to honor SS nazis.

Patriarchate of Alexandria, Archbishop Ieronymos II the Primate of the Church of Greece, and Church of Cyprus recognized the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

On 5 January 2019, Bartholomew I, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, signed the tomos that officially recognized and established the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and granted it autocephaly (self-governorship).
