Filaret in Washington: Prepared for Putin’s Provocations
If the Ecumenical Patriarchate recognizes the UOC-KP as a canonical Church …. the struggle between Moscow and Constantinople for primacy in the Orthodox world will end, and the church of Moscow will revert to its proper status as a daughter of the church of Kyiv.

Ukrainain Orthodoxy on the eve of Pan-Orthodox Council. Part III
The history evidences: the Local Churches that were historically associated with earthly empires were uninterested in the canonical establishment of local churches under their jurisdictions, and therefore usually granted autocephaly to churches only under the pressure of historic circumstances. No exception is the Moscow Patriarchate, which has incorporated the Orthodox Church in Ukraine since 1686.

Ukrainian Orthodoxy: path to recovery of Church unity. Part II
Ukrainian Orthodoxy and Ukrainian society suffer from division. The majority of Ukrainian Orthodox believers belong to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate. The rest of the Orthodox community of Ukraine has chosen a different path of self-proclaimed autocephaly. However, neither the first nor the second path is optimal for the Orthodox Church in Ukraine to date.

Possible date for Constantinople's deliberations on the Ukrainian issue is announced
A session of the Episcopate Assembly of the Ecumenical Patriarchate to be held on September 1-3, reports fanarion.blogspot. The reason for the meeting is indicated as “the issues concerning the Mother Church and Orthodoxy will be considered.”
It is not excluded that the “Ukrainian church issue” will be resolved.
First, the Ecumenical Patriarchate does not call itself the “Mother Church” at general Orthodox meetings. Such a definition is used only when it comes to Ukraine or the Kyiv Metropolis.
Secondly, the Tomos is really important in the context of the entire Orthodox world.
It should be noted that in the practice of the Local Orthodox Churches the decisions that are fundamentally important are taken as follows: initially, the Synod convenes (a narrow circle of influential bishops) at which the decision is made -- followed by the Council or assembly of the entire episcopate at which the decision is discussed and approved.
