Head of Orthodox Church of Ukraine rejects Russian World doctrine

The head of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine stated that no single nation or culture holds a monopoly on Christian identity.

In a statement reported by RISU, he rejected the core tenets of the Russian World doctrine. He argued that the belief that Russian culture, history, and religious tradition hold exceptional importance within the Church is hypocritical. He noted that the Church is open to all people and that sincere faith in the Son of God is the only requirement for membership.
