Moscow, November 6, Interfax - The United States had a hand in the granting of autocephaly to the new church of Ukraine and is seeking to split the Orthodox world even more, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said. --  "I didn't hear that the Church of Greece officially recognized the schismatic Orthodox Church of Ukraine. I've heard that there is a letter by Archbishop Ieronymos II of Athens and All Greece addressed to the leader of the schismatics, but I didn't see an official statement by the Church of Greece," Lavrov said at a press conference following negotiations with the foreign minister of Greece in Moscow on Wednesday.
