Patriarch Kirill stated on the air of Russia-1 TV channel that "divisions are surely always eliminated at some point," provided there is a common faith. According to the Primate of the Russian Church, if the dogmatic and theological consciousness of the schismatics is not damaged, then it is hoped that the time will come when it will be possible to enter into dialogue and negotiate. The latter is possible by God's grace and labors of the ministers of the Church.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that the head of the ROC considers the split in Ukraine to be deliberately provoked.
