I support only one major Orthodox church in Ukraine, where all the masses are held in the Ukrainian language.

A church where most of the leaders are from Ukraine and are based in Ukraine and hold Ukrainian traditions and customs as paramount along side Christ's teachings.

I don't support the government forcing this issue on Ukrainians. I would prefer to see a gradual shift from Moscow to Kyiv , something we are already experiencing. This is a natural progression to return to ones roots.

Ukraine should be strictly secular.

Nevertheless, Isn't it rather idiotic for some Ukrainians to show loyalty to Moscow --to a foreign church-- when the first Christening of Ukraine and the first church of Ukraine had its seat in Kyiv?
