On 11 May, the OCU held its "Bishops’ Council" at the Refectory Church of the Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, reports the organisation's official website.

During the assembly, representatives of the OCU condemned the ideology of the "Russian world" as a teaching based on heretical principles of ethno-phyletism, Manichaeism and Gnosticism.

They also stated that the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, excommunicated himself from the Church.

"Taking into account the special gravity, publicity, and persistent unrepentance in crimes against God, the Church of Christ, and humanity committed by the layman of the Russian Orthodox Church Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the Bishops’ Council of the OCU witnessed that this person, by his crimes and persistent and conscious unrepentance in public sins, has excommunicated himself from the Church," the OCU’s statement reads.

As reported, earlier, the OCU announced the establishment of monasteries in two eparchies.
