The situation in Ukraine deserves its own paper and is beyond the scope of this article. The churches there deserve mention, however, since most of the Russian groups have parishes in Ukraine (.  ROAC has two Bishops in Ukraine, as does the RTOC. In 2007, Bp Agafangel of Odessa formed the ROCOR-PSCA (see above) , and maintains the largest presence in Ukraine. Worthy of note is the [[Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church]] (UAOC) under Metropolitan Methody Kuriakov; while the ecclesiology of the UAOC is not particularly firm, they consecrated bishops for at least one True Orthodox group in Russia.
