The metropolitan stated that the interdenominational situation in the region has improved with the appointment of Bishop Filaret (Kucherov), head of the Lviv Eparchy.

“We spoke with Bishop Filaret today. Indeed, the relations between the UGCC and the UOC have become stable since his appointment,” noted the metropolitan.

“The most important thing is to understand each other. The most important thing is not to yield to any provocations, and then, any issues arising, any problems can be settled by us jointly with our leadership,” stressed Metropolitan Antoniy.
