During his stay in Istanbul, the head of the OCU Epifaniy Dumenko told the Ukrainian Consul to Turkey that he was acting "in truth", reports the official website of the OCU.

At a meeting with Ukrainian Consul General Roman Nedilskyi, Dumenko said that neither the OCU nor the Phanar pay attention to "hostile attempts" to question the Tomos.

"We act within the framework of the canons and tradition of Orthodoxy, we act in truth," Dumenko said confidently.

As earlier reported, the cleric of the OCU cut the locks on the temple of the UOC in Kyiv.
