This was reported by the press service of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate.
The head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate, 97-year-old Patriarch Filaret, was hospitalised in one of Kyiv's hospitals due to deteriorating health.
According to the church's press service, the clergyman is under constant medical supervision and is receiving the necessary medical care.
The church also called on the clergy and believers to pray for the patriarch's health and his speedy recovery.

At the same time, the Kyiv Patriarchate explained that the primate was undergoing routine examination and treatment, and his condition was assessed as satisfactory.
