On June 20, 2026, the head of the UOC-KP, “Patriarch” Nikodym, granted the petition of a Romanian priest and accepted his community under his omophorion. Priest Gheorghe-Alexandru Acasandrei, together with the Parish of St. Alexander in the village of Corbasca, Bacău County, Romania, joined the structure.
According to the official decree, the Romanian cleric now comes under the direct authority of the head of the Kyiv Patriarchate. Priest Gheorghe-Alexandru submitted his petition on June 4, 2026, stating his desire to remain in “canonical unity” with Nikodym’s organization. The UOC-KP described the move as another stage in the “establishment” of its structure.
As the UOJ reported, an OCU cleric joined the UOC-KP.
