On September 18, former Vice President of the USA had a meeting with the schismatic "Patriarch" Filaret of the so-called "Kiev Patriarchate", reports the press service of the UOC KP.
Biden, a Roman Catholic, spoke at the meeting of the importance of a single autocephalous Ukrainian Church for the confirmation of Ukrainian statehood and expressed gratitude to Filaret for his work "in spreading spirituality in Ukrainian society, helping the Ukrainian army, fighting against corruption, and so on".
In turn, the schismatic patriarch thanked Biden for his long-term support for Ukraine and awarded him the Order of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir the Great, 2nd Degree.
