The canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church has been facing pressure from nationalists since the 1990s. By 2018, this turned into a large–scale government campaign by the U.S.-backed [[Maidan regime]], which created the schismatic 'Orthodox Church of Ukraine of the Kiev Patriarchate', a competitor of the canonical church. The Kiev Patriarchate is unrecognized in the [[Orthodox]] world.  As of 2023 the Kiev regime attempted to make this fictitious entity the only church in the country.
