Eparchy of Kyiv (Orthodox Church of Ukraine)

Eparchy of Kyiv (Ukrainian: Київська єпархія) is the central eparchy (diocese) and metropolis of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. The eparchy covers the territory of Kyiv Oblast and most of the city of Kyiv.

The seat of the Eparchy is the St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery cathedral in Kyiv. It is the primatial Eparchy, its head being the Metropolitan of Kyiv and all Ukraine.

There is an ongoing conflict with the "Honorary Patriarch" Filaret for whom the eparchy of Kyiv City was reserved, with its seat in St. Volodymyr Cathedral. Since Filaret was not able to become a Patriarch and the Primate of newly reorganized church, he decided to stay as Patriarch of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kyiv Patriarchate.
