    They’re Orthodox, right? If the Metropolitan of Kyiv and other leaders of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church develop ties with the Roman Catholic Church, that’s pretty significant.

      There is also a Ukrainian Catholic “sect” (denomination? Not sure the proper terminology). They follow the heirarchy of the Pope, like other Catholics, but I believe there is more figures in there too (metropolitan’s, archbishops). Their liturgy is more Orthodox than Roman cathlicism, (Byzantine rite) and some other differences - communion, baptism/confirmation, priests can marry.
