Tomos of autocephaly for the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, that means its independency from Russian Ortodox Church has been singned today in Istambul by all members of Ecumenical Patriarchate.
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew – the head of the global Orthodox Church – has signed “tomos” earlier, on January 6, 2019.

The move has provoked a furious response in Russia, including the fact that around Church’s live issues were discussed on the Security Council of Russia today.
