This is evidenced by the data of a new sociological survey from the Razumkov Center, published in his Facebook archbishop of the UOC-Kyiv Patriarchate Eustratiy Zorya.

Approximately 1.5% of respondents named themselves parishioners of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. 35.7% identified themselves as "just Orthodox".

At the same time, 7.7% believe that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church should remain part of the ROC.

29,2% are sure that the Orthodox should rally around the UOC-KP. Another 20.5% believe that Orthodox should unite in a single Church, which will seek independence.
