According to Petro Poroshenko, after the death of Filaret, the OCU is now being “affirmed by the Patriarch’s disciples.” He recalled that recently the head of the UOC-KP met with Epifaniy Dumenko to “pass on his spiritual legacy in farewell and support the Church during the current difficult trials.”
