The highest hierarchs of the UOC-MP arrived at the Office of the President to talk with Volodymyr Zelensky. However, they refused to meet.

The refusal to meet with representatives of the UOC-MP was announced by Zelensky's press secretary Serhiy Nikiforov. Note that the monks allegedly wanted to convey “their position” to the Ukrainian president.

Zelensky was denied a meeting with the monks of the UOC-MP

Thus, representatives of the UOC-MP complained that the Office of the President refused to meet with their leadership. So, Sergei Nikiforov said that the Ukrainian leader today (March 20 – Channel 24) did not plan such a meeting.

Employees of the relevant departments of the Office of the President met with the delegation to receive an appeal, register it and submit it for further consideration, Zelensky's spokesman said.

However, representatives of the UOC-MP refused to hand over their appeal. Therefore, why it was necessary to arrange this ostentatious circus is unknown.
