Abstract
The article reveals the essence and content of the policy of the Constantinople Patriarchate regarding the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for more than a thousand years of history of mutual relations. Considering these relations in a historical retrospect, they can be chronologically divided into six stages, each of which reflects the process of evolution of the policy of the Constantinople Patriarchate in the Ukrainian Orthodoxy. The author concludes that throughout the history of relations the Patriarchate of Constantinople tried to subjugate Ukraine in general and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in particular to its spiritual, cultural and political influence. At the same time, the article focuses on the process of liquidation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the Moscow State and the entry of its structures into the Russian Orthodox Church. On this basis, it is proved that the matter of canonical recognition of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the creation of a national church is first and foremost an internal problem of Ukraine itself.
