Metropolitan Emmanuel of Chalcedon, a representative of Ecumenical Patriarch and Archbishop of Constantinople Bartholomew, arrived in Kyiv and held a meeting with the primate of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) on Aug. 10.
The envoy of Patriarch Bartholomew, who is considered to be the most senior ecclesiastical authority in the Eastern Orthodox Church, met Metropolitan Epiphanius of Kyiv and All Ukraine at the St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery, the OCU's press service said.
"With the blessing of His Holiness our Patriarch Bartholomew, I come to Kyiv to affirm the constant support of the Mother Church to the heroic people of Ukraine, who are resisting the unjust and cruel Russian aggression," Metropolitan Emmanuel said.

He’s a completely fake bishop. Resides on a country where less than 2000 orthodox Greeks live. He’s not orthodox. He’s nothing.
I think NATO and The West are starting to realize that their secular/anti-God LGBT messaging is detrimental to the war effort.
We’ve completely lost the moral high ground. Many Americans see it and the world sees it.
Oh the irony - Zelensky shuts down Russian orthodox churches and then welcomes pseudo clergy to give himself credibility. How pious thou art!
Stop with the Russia simping already.
Ironic? The current patriarch of Russia was a KGB informer and then agent.

Thanks for the clarification. It’s from ultraleftist Yahoo news, meaning it’s fake news. The globalist trolls post only from discredited leftist websites.
You’re the one who accuses Conservatives of posting leftist sources, yet here’s another discredited leftist globalist fake news link, Yahoo news. Tend to your own affairs, Canadian troll.
Original source, if you bother to look, is a press release by the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU).
And you can get the same story from multiple sources -
Rejecting news, especially of the easily checked, press release type, is silly, or fanatical. You may disagree with the original source, but what is news is that such was released by said source - not Yahoo news, but that whuch they are quoting.

Thanks for diving deeper into the source info.
Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!
......The Orthodox Church of Ukraine is one of the two main Orthodox churches in the country, along with the Kremlin-linked Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP).......
By God’s grace, the Orthodox Church in America and the Serbian Orthodox Church recognize the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), headed by Metropolitan Onufriy, as the true Orthodox Church of Ukraine. The UOC may be linked to the Russian Orthodox Church (NOT “the Kremlin”), but it is autonomous!
The so-called Orthodox Church of Ukraine is fake, illegitimate, and headed by a defrocked layman! It is a totally political creature. Of course, corrupt Zelenskyy supports this “church”, and persecutes the true Church—all with the blessing of biden and his corrupt cabal.
Meanwhile, the bidenites oppress Americans!!
Leftist sources are instantly debunked.
So tell that to the Eastern Orthodox communion who considered him the primus inter pares
Zelensky didn’t shut , the Ukrainian government shut down communities controlled by the Moscow patriarchate.
The Ukrainian Orthodox church is functioning well except in Russian temporarily occupied territories where Putin has banned Ukrainian Orthodox churches
The Orthodox church of Ukraine is neither fake nor illegitimate.
It is recognised as legitimate by
1. The Orthodox Church of Greece recognized the autocephaly of Ukraine on October 12th, 2019.
2. the Orthodox Church of Alexandria, which ranks 2nd in the diptych of the four ancient Orthodox patriarchates.
3. The Church of Cyprus
Bulgaria and Romania have not denied nor recognised it yet.
And no, Metropolitan Epiphanius of Kyiv and All Ukraine is not defrocked layman.
On 15 December 2018, at the unification council held in the Cathedral of St. Sophia, he was elected Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine, the first primate of the autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
Fake, fake, fake—and schismatic!!!!
The "church" created by the US State Dept., Ukrainian government, and Black Bart is literally a page out of the Bolshevik playbook. The Bolshevik's also created a fake church while persecuting the Russian Orthodox. Back then, Constantinople also recognized the Communist "church" -- anything to put the Russian Church down.
Zelensky is a Russian-speaking Ukrainian Jew, while Met. Onufriy is a Unkrainian-speaking Christian. The pathetic attempts to insist that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is some kind of Putin army are founded on nothing but bigotry.
