Eparchies of Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) (and its predecessor Exarchate of Ukraine):[2] In May 2022 the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) itself announced its separation from the Moscow Patriarchate and excluded ‘any provisions that at least somehow hinted at or indicated the connection with Moscow’ (following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine); the Russian Orthodox Church continues to claim jurisdiction over Ukraine.[3]
