Abstract
The present article is a reflection on the ways the Ukrainian autocephaly is received in the Orthodox world one year after its establishment. The topic has been discussed in three parts. First, the author has presented the stand of Constantinople and Moscow on the establishment of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. Next, he discussed the reactions of other Orthodox Churches to Ukrainian autocephaly. In the final part, the author focused on the attempt at an agreement on this issue undertaken in Amman (2020). In the course of his reflection, the author stated that so far only three out of fourteen Orthodox Churches acknowledged Ukrainian autocephaly (Constantinople, Alexandria and Greece); seven Churches hold a negative stand (Antioch, Jerusalem, Moscow, Serbia, Poland, Albany, Czech Republic and Slovakia); the remaining four Churches (of Georgia, Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus) have not formulated a unequivocal opinion in this matter.
