On July 27, 2025, a “service” of the OCU took place in Warsaw, led by “hierarchs” Ilarion Protsyk and Mitrofan Butynsky. 

As reported by the OCU press service, Protsyk emphasized: “Even far from home, we remain the Church – a place of strength, faith, and unity. Where prayer is heard in Ukrainian – there lives Ukraine.”

It is also reported that the OCU's “chaplaincy mission” in Poland is a “symbol of the indomitable spirit and testimony that our faith knows no borders.”

It should be noted that, according to the Tomos, the jurisdiction of the OCU operates exclusively within the borders of Ukraine. Dumenko does not have the right to organize communities abroad.

Recall, the Polish Church officially called the “hierarchy” of the OCU laypeople. At the same time, the Polish Church stopped cooperation with the RCC due to its support for the OCU.
