On March 14, 2024, the Holy Synod of the Antiochian Orthodox Church called for intensified prayers for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, reports the website of the Antiochian Patriarchate.
"The Synod Fathers call their faithful children during this blessed period to intensify their prayers for the whole Orthodox Church and Her unity, and for the confessing Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This Church’s faithful are suffering from the cruel brunt of war, organized violence, and danger of extinction through unjust laws that aim at closing their parishes and transferring their churches’ ownership to other religious groups," the Synod's message said.
As reported by the UOJ, Bishop Daniel of Vidin of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church touched upon the topic of persecutions against the UOC in his video address and stated that not only faith but also the lives of UOC believers who do not wish to join the OCU are under threat.
