"Metropolitan" Fedir Bubniuk of Poltava and Kremenchuk (OCU) shared with Livyi Bereh the challenges he and his classmate Epifaniy Dumenko faced during their student years.

"I have the best memories of that time. I became a monk and priest earlier than His Beatitude. He went to study in Athens. I think it was difficult for him because financial support for his studies was needed, and besides that, we were isolated – being from the Kyiv Patriarchate, we were rejected everywhere, and no one accepted us," Bubniuk shared.

He described Dumenko during that time as a diligent student.

As the UOJ previously reported, religious scholar Yuriy Chornomorets accused Dumenko of duplicity.
