The Tomos of Autocephaly — the formal ecclesiastical document granting the Orthodox Church of Ukraine independence from the Moscow Patriarchate — was signed by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I in Constantinople on January 5, 2019, and delivered to Metropolitan Epifaniy three days later in Istanbul. The break ended roughly three and a half centuries of canonical subordination to Moscow, a relationship formalized after the 1686 transfer of the Kyivan metropolitanate — a transfer Constantinople had long disputed and formally declared invalid in 2018.
Ukraine's move accelerated sharply after 2014, when Russian military action in Crimea and the Donbas made the Moscow-linked church politically untenable for much of the Ukrainian state and public.
