NAME OF NEW CHURCH AND TITLE OF ITS PRIMATE PUBLICIZED
The Ukrainian church that was formed has the official name "Orthodox Church of Ukraine" [Pravoslavnaia Tserkov Ukrainy—PTsU]. This was reported in Facebook by Archbishop Evstraty.
"The official name according to the charter is the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (PTsU). It is also possible to use UPTs (not to be confused with MP)," Vladyka Evstraty noted.
The official title of the primate of the church is "Metropolitan of Kiev and all-Ukraine."
Vladyka Evstraty also announced that the new head of the PTsU will conduct his first liturgy as soon as Sunday, 16 December, in the St. Michael's Golden-domed cathedral at 10:00 a.m. (tr. by PDS, posted 15 December 2018)
