On 13 June 2023, an MP of the People's Servant faction, Oleh Dunda, promised that there will be no UOC in Ukraine by the end of the summer.

On the “Espresso TV” channel, the lawmaker said that relevant decisions and bills which would make it impossible for the UOC to exist in Ukraine will be adopted and voted on in the summer.

According to Dunda, the UOC will no longer exist in Ukraine within a year. He believes that "this will become a fait accompli and these remnants of the Russian sectarian religion in the form of the UOC MP may remain only in the form of the so-called catacomb Church".

Dunda is sure that "most likely, even in this form they will not be in Ukraine. There will be some small sect of parishioners – about 50-100 thousand, but they will also disappear".

"This is already an irreversible and historical issue and will have been finished by the end of the year. I think that in the summer the relevant decisions will be taken and the bills will be voted – and there will be no UOC officially in our state," stressed the MP.

Earlier, Iryna Sovsun said the bills on the UOC are not being submitted to the Parliament for fear of not getting the votes.
