Events from the UOC MP
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC MP) is a religious organization that is part of the Russian Orthodox Church. It operated in Ukraine as a separate structure, officially registered as the Kyiv Metropolia. After 2022, many communities of the UOC MP transitioned to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) or ceased operations. This church remains a subject of public discussion and state policy regarding Ukraine's religious independence.
