The head of the OCU, Sergei (Epifaniy) Dumenko, announced plans to soon visit Holy Mount Athos.

He said this in an interview on Channel 5, answering the viewer's question, “which of the sketes or monasteries of Athos Bartholomew (Patriarch of Constantinople – Ed.) is ready to give to the UOC (OCU – Ed.).”

“I’m going to visit Athos soon, and then we will talk specifically about where to place our Ukrainian skete,” Dumenko said.

As reported by the UOJ, earlier social networks told how Athos actually treats the OCU.
