The current primate is Bartholomew I, since 1991.
Before the Russian aggression of 2014, the Patriarchate of Constantinople did not have a unified position on the Ukrainian question; there were only several groups with different views on the problem of Ukrainian Orthodoxy.
During a service at the Phanar, the Ecumenical Patriarchate for the first time since the Baptism mentioned the Ukrainian Church separately.
