Would Ukraine’s first wartime president finally deliver on creating a much-needed anti-graft judiciary? Push for establishing an independent financial crimes unit, perhaps call snap parliamentary elections or voice alarm over Russia’s post-Easter military escalation in the Donbas war? It was, instead, a religious affair. One that the president equated with further solidifying the nation’s sovereignty and independence from Russia. Mr. Poroshenko called for the creation of a single unified Ukrainian Orthodox Church, much like his predecessors, Presidents Viktor Yushchenko and Leonid Kuchma, had done while in office. Canonically, Ukraine’s Orthodox Presidential Administration of Ukraine/Mykhailo Palinchak believers have lacked autocephaly, or self-governing Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko meets with the Orthodox Church’s Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, authority, since 1686 when the Kyivan Metropolitan was archbishop of Constantinople-New Rome, during a visit to Turkey on April 9. transferred to the Moscow Patriarchate.
