As a local Church of the Ukrainian people, we want to introduce ecumenical unity in Christian Ukraine - Shevchuk

On February 5, 2023, the head of the UGCC, Svyatoslav Shevchuk, said that the unity of Orthodox and Catholics should be realized in Ukraine, the UGCC website reports.

“The Pope of Rome, the successor of the Apostle Peter, is a minister of the universal unity of the Church of Christ, its visible center, the voice that calls for everyone to be one, as the Lord commanded us… As the local Church of the Ukrainian people, we want to introduce the fruits of the search for universal unity into the Christian Church context of Ukraine,” Shevchuk summed up.
