The Chairman of the ROC DECR, Metropolitan Anthony of Volokolamsk, met with the delegation of the Orthodox Church in America. The OCA delegation was led by Archbishop Alexy of Alaska and Sitka. This is reported by the ROC DECR Communication Service.

Earlier, the defrocked former cleric of the Russian Orthodox Church, Kirill Govorun, said that among the representatives of the Orthodox Local Churches located in the United States, there is an ambiguous attitude towards the conflict between the UOC and the OCU. Govorun claims that even in the Orthodox Church of America, which received autocephaly from the Russian Church, there are hierarchs who are ready to recognize the OCU.
