Abstract
This article will discuss the role of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew І in restoring the independence of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine. Today we are witnessing radical changes in our country. These changes are related to the restoration and struggle of Ukraine for its independence. It is a struggle both in the political arena and in the arena of the national church project. Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew has been an invaluable help in this direction for Ukraine. Therefore, this article will highlight the path Ukraine has taken to receive Thomas. The giving of Thomas to Ukraine is a solution to a universal global question that has lasted for centuries. Thomas is a borderline of sorts against Russian encroachment on Ukrainian lands, church, and culture. And the events of 2018 at the Cathedral of Bishops of the Ecumenical Patriarchate become important from a geopolitical point of view. The consequence was the restoration of the independence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
