The head of the Phanar, by his visit, inspired Dumenko to achieve  the "great goal" – to "unite" all the Orthodox around it.

The OCU has a goal – "to unite all Ukrainians around the Kyiv throne", and Patriarch Bartholomew "inspired" its achievement with his visit, the head of the OCU, Epiphany Dumenko, said on his Facebook page.

Dumenko called the visit of the head of Phanar to Ukraine historic. Describing the visit of Patriarch Bartholomew, the head of the OCU, as usual, could not restrain himself from recalling "fair peace" and the return of the Crimea and Donbass.

“We continue to fight for our state, and so is the struggle for the establishment of an independent Ukrainian Church,” said Epiphany. “We have a big goal – to unite all Orthodox Ukrainians around the Kyiv throne. Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew gave us wings.”

As reported, the Serbian theologian believes that after the visit of the Phanar head, the attack on the UOC will intensify.
