Ukrainian social networks users began to suspect that the exarchs of the Constantinople Patriarchate were "agents of the Kremlin," News Front news agency reports.

The reason for this was the first service, which was held by representatives of Fanar in Ukraine. It was held in Russian in the historic St. Andrew’s Church, located in the very center of old Kiev. The Ukrainian authorities officially handed it over to Constantinople.

A few dozen people, the representatives of the press and officials, attended the occasion. Most of them were extremely surprised to hear the Russian language in the very center of the Ukrainian capital, especially during the period when it was ousted from almost from all spheres of public life.

The story quickly spread through the Internet, many expressed their indignation. And some have wondered - in what language will the autocephaly tomos be written?

According to Russkiy Mir, the hierarchs of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church refuse to accept invitations from Patriarch Bartholomew to the so-called unifying council, which will be held in two days.
