Patriarch Filaret (C) of the Kiev-based Ukrainian Orthodox Church blesses a believer during a religious procession in Kiev on July 28, 2018, marking the 1030th anniversary of the Christianization of Kievan Rus. The Orthodox Church in Ukraine is split between the largest branch whose clerics pledge loyalty to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, and one that is overseen by Kiev-based Patriarch Filaret. Poroshenko opted to join a procession of tens of thousands of believers held by the Kiev-loyal Church after the Moscow-based Church held a similar procession on July 27, 2018. / AFP PHOTO / Genya SAVILOV
