Hundreds of UOC believers gathered at the Verkhovna Rada, where Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople is to meet with President Vladimir Zelensky and Head of Parliament Dmitry Razumkov, reports Pavlovskynews Telegram channel.
At 11:00 a.m, UOC believers are planning to hold the prayer standing at the building of the Verkhovna Rada.
The laity and the clergy want to declare that they do not support the Tomos, which Patriarch Bartholomew granted to the OCU.
