The Orthodox Eastern Church is the principal component of Ukrainian religious life. It unites more than one half of all religious communities: 70% - the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, 20% - the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - the Kyiv Patriarchate, and 7% - the Ukrainian Autocephnlous Orthodox Church.

A noticeable place in Ukraine's religious life is occupied by the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. This church places second by the number of religious communities and ranks first as to the number of monasteries. It also runs 19 Greek Catholic eparchies of Ukrainian Diaspora in other countries.

Roman Catholic Church is among the churches whose progress has been marked by special dynamism. Protestant churches are also well represented in Ukraine: Baptist, Pentecostal, Reformist, Adventist, Lutheran and other denominations, The number of Moslem and Judaic communities has noticeably increased in Ukraine, too.

Over the past several years non-traditional religious organisations (Charismatic, Mormon, Krishnaite etc.) have spread, though they do not influence the religious situation in Ukraine.

Ukraine is a multinational and multireligious country, where the Eastern and the Western traditions coexist. This is the nation's great wealth and a source of high morals and spiritual integrity.
