INTERNATIONAL CHURCH TRIBUNAL That is what our contemporaries would call the highest court of world Orthodoxy. This is the Council of the Primates of the Ancient Eastern Churches. For many centuries there has been a tradition in the Orthodox Church to go to the court of such a Council in case of serious conflicts. The Council of Eastern Patriarchs has repeatedly considered lawsuits against the highest church dignitaries.

There was also a precedent in the history of the Russian Church for appealing to the court of the Eastern Patriarchs. In 1666, it was the Eastern Patriarchs who condemned the Moscow Patriarch Nikon, depriving him of his patriarchate and episcopal rank. Nikon was left as a simple monk and sent to repentance to the monastery.

Today, when Moscow Patriarch Kirill openly supports Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, we, the priests of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, have decided to appeal to the Council of Primates of the Ancient Eastern Churches against Patriarch Kirill.

Our main accusations:

Kirill preaches the doctrine of the “Russian world”, which does not correspond to Orthodox teachings and should be condemned as heresy; Kirill committed moral crimes, blessing the war against Ukraine and fully supporting the aggressive actions of Russian troops in Ukraine. We hope that the Council of the Primates of the Ancient Eastern Churches will consider our appeal and make its just decision.

AN OPEN APPEAL TO THE PRIME MINISTERS OF LOCAL ORTHODOX CHURCHES We, the priests of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, in these tragic days, when the brutal war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine continues, consider it our pastoral duty to address the fullness of World Orthodoxy.

On February 24, 2022, Russian troops invaded the territory of the sovereign Ukrainian state without declaring war. The military aggression has been going on for more than a month. Russian troops are systematically destroying not only military infrastructure, but also housing estates, civilian enterprises, schools, hospitals, theaters, etc. Ukraine’s economy is suffering heavy losses. But our greatest sorrow is that thousands of civilians have died during the war. The actions of the Russian army around Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Okhtyrka, Gostomel, Vorzel, and especially Mariupol and Bucha have obvious signs of genocide against the Ukrainian people and are causing outrage around the world.

On the first day of the war, the Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufriy, condemned the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine and appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war. In addition, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufriy appealed to Moscow Patriarch Kirill to raise his voice against the war. After that, both His Beatitude Onuphriy and the Holy Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church again appealed to Patriarch Kirill to oppose the war and help end the military aggression. However, Patriarch Kirill ignored these appeals.

Moreover, since the beginning of the war, Patriarch Kirill has repeatedly made public statements that contained de facto support for the Russian Federation’s aggressive actions against Ukraine. On March 13, 2022, during the liturgy in the Church of Christ the Savior, Patriarch Kirill presented the Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard of the Russian Federation VV Zolotov with an icon of the Mother of God and gave his blessing to the employees of this state military organization. In his speech of thanks, VV Zolotov directly said that the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation are taking an active part in the war waged by Russia against Ukraine today. At the same time, he called the Armed Forces of Ukraine “Nazis.” After hearing Zolotov’s words, the patriarch did not object. Patriarch Kirill’s blessing of the Russian National Guard was an unequivocal endorsement of the war waged by the Russian Federation against Ukraine. Despite the fact that Patriarch Kirill for many years in his public statements (including during visits to Ukraine) stated that he considers the Orthodox Christians of Ukraine to be his flock for which he is responsible, today he directly blesses the physical destruction of this flock by Russians troops.

The actions of Patriarch Kirill caused mass outrage among the clergy and the faithful of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. At least fifteen dioceses of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church have already officially announced that they will stop commemorating Patriarch Kirill during Church services. We know that in many other dioceses the ruling bishops gave verbal permission to the clergy not to mention the name of Patriarch Cyril. Thus, bishops, priests, and ordinary parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church expressed their unequivocal distrust of Patriarch Kirill.

We fully support the refusal of the bishops and clergy of our Church to commemorate Patriarch Kirill during the service. But today this is not enough.

We clearly state that it is impossible for us to continue to be in any form of canonical subordination to the Moscow Patriarch. This is what our Christian conscience dictates.

We see the brutal actions of the Russian army against the Ukrainian people, which are actually approved by Patriarch Kirill. As pastors of the Church, and simply as Christians, we have always been, are, and will be with our people, with those who suffer and need help. We fully support the Ukrainian state authorities and the Armed Forces of Ukraine in their fight against the aggressor.

Our position is fully consistent with the Gospel and the church tradition. Defending the homeland from the enemy is one of the main Christian virtues. We would like to emphasize that our position is in line with the domestic legislation of the Russian Orthodox Church. Back in 2000, the Fundamentals of the Social Concept of the Russian Orthodox Church were adopted. This document approves of Christian patriotism, which is manifested, among other things, “in the defense of the fatherland from the enemy” (II, 3). Also in the Fundamentals of the Social Concept it is clearly stated that “the Church… does not forbid her children to take part in hostilities when it comes to protecting their neighbors and restoring violated justice” (VIII, 2). This document also emphasizes that “during the war it is necessary to ensure the protection of civilians from direct military action” (VIII, 3).

We, as citizens of Ukraine, today act within the framework of these principles. We call for the protection of our Motherland from the enemy who came to us with weapons; we support the Ukrainian army, which has stood up for our people and seeks to restore justice; we call for an end to the brutal destruction of the Ukrainian civilian population by the Russian military.

At the same time, Patriarch Kirill (as well as numerous bishops and priests in Russia) directly violate the norms of the Fundamentals of the Social Doctrine. In particular, this document clearly states that the Church cannot provide assistance to the state and cooperate with it if the state is waging an aggressive foreign war (III). Today, the actions of the Russian Federation against Ukraine are nothing but an aggressive foreign war. This fact is recognized by the whole world community. In particular, on March 2, 2022, 141 countries supported the resolution of the UN General Assembly condemning Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. But both Patriarch Kirill and the numerous clergy in Russia continue to support the aggressive foreign policy of the Russian Federation. Thus, the position of the Moscow Patriarchate on the war against Ukraine does not correspond to the norms of Christian morality, or even to its own normative documents.

Reflecting on the origins of the position of the Russian Orthodox Church on the war in Ukraine, we must recognize that one of the ideological foundations of this war was the doctrine of “Russian Doctine”, which has been personally promoted for many years by Patriarch Kirill. This doctrine has been actively developed by Russian political scientists and sociologists since the 1990s. Its goal is to preserve the influence of the Russian Federation in the former Soviet Union after its inglorious collapse. The ideologues of the Russian world, particularly within the Moscow Patriarchate, never hid the fact that this doctrine should promote Russian irredentism, that is, the gradual establishment of Russia’s political control over territories formerly part of the Soviet Union or even the Russian Empire.

Patriarch Kirill is one of the main ideologues of the doctrine of the “Russian World”. According to Patriarch Kirill, the “Russian World” is the only civilizational space that encompasses territories in which Russian culture has historically had a significant impact. He has repeatedly stated that he considers modern Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians to be “one people”, the people of the “Russian world”. In particular, in 2014, in a speech on television, Patriarch Kirill said: “The Russian world is a special civilization, which includes people who today call themselves by different names – and Russians, and Ukrainians, and Belarusians” (http://www.patriarchia.ru/db/text/3730705.html). That is, Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians, according to the patriarch, simply call themselves by different names, but still remain one people.

In 2021, in an interview on the occasion of his 75th birthday, Patriarch Kirill said: “For me, as the Patriarch of All Russia, there is no division into nations and states, but the flock of the Russian Orthodox Church” (http://www.patriarchia.ru/db/text/5863267.html). Although Patriarch Kirill has always stressed that he does not question the existing state borders, he nevertheless stated that these borders “create unnecessary obstacles between the peoples of the Russian world” (http://www.patriarchia.ru/db/text/928446.html ).

On March 20, 2022, during the war waged by Russia against Ukraine, Patriarch Kirill in his sermon at the Church of Christ the Savior in Moscow stated that Russians and Ukrainians are “really one people.” He stressed that he considers this to be God’s truth, which is not changed by the fact that “today we live in different countries.” Therefore, the patriarch said that he would continue to pray “for our united people, who today live in different countries” (http://www.patriarchia.ru/db/text/5909901.html).

All these statements are in full agreement with Russian state propaganda, which rejects the very fact of the existence of the Ukrainian nation and Ukrainian culture, and therefore does not actually recognize the right of Ukrainians to their own statehood. Thus, the doctrine of “Russian Peace “, which has been promoted for many years by Patriarch Kirill, today helps to justify Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine.

However, we, Orthodox priests, want to pay special attention to those aspects of the doctrine of the “Russian world” that are directly related to the doctrine of the Church. In particular, Patriarch Kirill insists on identifying the “Russian world” with the so-called “canonical territory” of the Russian Orthodox Church. In particular, in 2009, in his speech at the Assembly of the Russian Peace Foundation, Patriarch Kirill said that the Russian Orthodox Church fulfills a pastoral mission among peoples who accept the Russian spiritual and cultural tradition as the basis of their national identity, or at least as its essential part. That is why in this sense we also consider Moldova a part of this Russian world ”(http://www.patriarchia.ru/db/text/928446.html). In his official speeches, Patriarch Kirill repeatedly stated that according to the charter of the Eastern Patriarchs on the establishment of the Moscow Patriarchate (1593), all territories north of Byzantium were transferred to the jurisdiction of this patriarchate. For example, on September 24, 2014, speaking in Moscow at the VI International Festival of Faith and Word, Patriarch Kirill said that in 1593 the Christian Orthodoxy north of the Byzantine Empire was transferred to the Moscow Patriarchate. This is all that is north of Byzantium. ” By this logic, the Eastern Patriarchs seem to have recognized the extension of the Moscow Patriarch’s jurisdiction to Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states, and Moldova. It is these territories that Patriarch Kirill today declares to be a zone of his “canonical responsibility” and identifies with the “Russian World.” From the point of view of Patriarch Kirill, all Churches in these territories do not have the right to ecclesiastical independence (autocephaly). By his logic, the Churches in Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, and the Baltic states are literally doomed to remain part of the Moscow Patriarchate forever.

These statements of Patriarch Kirill are in clear contradiction with historical facts. But it is particularly surprising that Patriarch Kirill presents this misinterpretation of history as the position of the whole world Orthodoxy. Moreover, in the words and actions of Patriarch Kirill, we see obvious distortions of the Orthodox doctrine of the Church. Patriarch Kirill’s statements about the “Russian World” are reminiscent of the ethnophiletism condemned by the Universal Orthodoxy, where the role of the ethnos is played by “Russian civilization.” Patriarch Kirill’s statements that the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate extends to all people who accept “Russian spiritual and cultural tradition as the basis of their national identity” come into obvious contradiction with Orthodox canon law. This understanding of the church system means rejecting the territorial principle of extending ecclesiastical jurisdiction and replacing it with the principle of national (or cultural-national).

In March 2022, a group of Orthodox theologians issued a Declaration on the Doctrine of the “Russian World”, which has now been supported by more than 300 intellectuals from around the world. We believe that this declaration was an important step towards understanding the distortions of the Orthodox doctrine of the Church that occurred in the Moscow Patriarchate.

All these considerations force us to turn to the Primates of the Local Orthodox Churches. We declare our allegiance to the Universal Orthodoxy, our desire for the fullness of our communion with it, and condemn any attempt to limit our involvement in it. We also believe that it is the fullness of the Ecumenical Orthodoxy that must today treat the statements and actions of Patriarch Kirill with all care and responsibility. The tragedy unfolding in Ukraine today was, among other things, the result of the policy pursued by Patriarch Kirill during his tenure at the helm of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is obvious that this has already become a challenge for the whole world Orthodoxy.

Therefore, we call on the Primates of the Local Orthodox Churches:

Clearly and unequivocally condemn the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. To call on the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to immediately end the war and liberate all the occupied territories of sovereign Ukraine. To consider the public statements of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow regarding the war against Ukraine and to evaluate them in the light of the Holy Scriptures and the Sacred Tradition of the Church. To consider at the Pan-Orthodox level the doctrine of “Russian Doctrine”, which has been promoted for many years by Patriarch Kirill and which became one of the ideological justifications for the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, and to evaluate this doctrine from the point of view of Patriarch Kirill to responsibility and deprive the right to hold the patriarchal throne. This appeal is open for signature to the clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

Whoever of the UOC clergy is willing to sign our appeal, please write in a personal message (067-6-333-112 or in any messenger) the following text: “I sign the appeal. Rank. Name. Surname. Name of the diocese.

After the collection of signatures is completed, the appeal will be sent to all the Primates of the Local Orthodox Churches. It will also be sent to the attention of Moscow Patriarch Kirill.
