[HIGHLIGHTS] In Ukraine, they said that in April, more than 80 communities of the canonical church passed to the schismatics

More than 80 parishes of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) were transferred to the schismatic Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) in April. This was reported by the Ukrinform agency.

It is a stage on the way to the introduction of Ukrainian Orthodoxy into a union with the Greek Catholics, according to the Russian president's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov. He said that changing the church calendar in Ukraine is "madness and bacchanalia" in the eyes of the public.
