On September 18, 2019, the former Metropolitan Alexander (Drabinko) reported on Facebook on his meeting with students of the Kiev Three Saints Theological Seminary of the UGCC, which was held in the Kiev Transfiguration Cathedral.

“We joyfully welcomed the guests - students of the Kiev Three Saints Theological Seminary of the UGCC and the Historical and Philosophical Faculty of Boris Grinchenko University of Kiev, who, together with their tutors, visited the Transfiguration Cathedral and the Museum of His Beatitude Metropolitan Vladimir,” the “hierarch” said.

They congratulated Liudmila Alexandrovna Filippovich on her birthday and presented the award to the Metropolitan Vladimir Memorial Fund.

Earlier, Metropolitan Alexander (Drabinko) and the ex-spokesperson of the UOC Archpriest Grigory Kovalenko called on the UOC to repent to the Uniates.
