On July 27 at the Synodal Hall of the Kyiv Metropolis the meeting of His Beatitude Metropolitan Volodymyr with His All Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and the hierarchs of the Patriarchate of Constantinople took place.

Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine expressed his gratitude for the visit, for the sincere blessing, asked for the holy prayers and awarded all with certificates of honour of the Holy Synod and the anniversary orders of the 1020 years of the Baptism of Rus. The Ecumenical Patriarch and Archbishops also received Panagias and the priests were given pectoral crosses. The delegation members also received the film "Orthodox Churches and Monasteries of Ukraine" on the DVD (production of the TV Channel ‘Glas') and the disks "Ancient Russian Pascha" with records of the Choir of Holy Protection Church at the hospital of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.

The Ecumenical Patriarch thanked "for sincere hospitality and love during the visit", greeted once more on the feast of the Baptism of Rus: "This holiday reminds once again of the inextricable connections between Ukraine and Constantinople", noted His Holiness. "Ukraine has been forever in our hearts and now, after getting the orders it will be upon them", he summed up.
