Ukranian flags wave in front of Saint Sophia's Cathedral, in Kiev, Ukraine. On Saturday Ukraine hosts the unification council aimed to elect the leader of the new independent Orthodox church although the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, the only canonical Orthodox church in Ukraine, has already refused to take part in the unification council. The Ukrainian authorities and the newly created church want to get a tomos from the Constantinople patriarch on autocephaly from the Constantinople Orthodox Church.
