As reported by NFTU, the Moscow Patriarchate has officially broken communion with Patriarch Bartholomew for his recognizing of Ukrainian autocephaly.

Interesting it sounds a lot like nato and the russian federation are running the churches using them as propaganda arms of their control over the people in the regional chess game.

I have read nothing indicating an actual suspension of communion. The steps described of suspending commemorations and withdrawing from bodies sponsored by the EP are preliminary steps. The break in communion will likely not happen until autocephaly is granted.

There is a high political factor at work here. The Ukrainian president is a western puppet who has turned to the ecumenist EP as a lever to pivot against the Russians. The EP of course is only too happy to serve western ecumenist secular goals while at the same time flexing its "muscle" against Russia. Interesting times. Let's see how quickly ROCOR apologists pivot their definition of canonical once communion breaks.

That was indeed a shrewd observation by some guy. One has to see this larger picture to understand the acrimony between the 2 jurisdictions.
What did you mean by that last sentence, Bishop Irineos ?
