Since 2014 and the beginning of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, the situation of Orthodox churches in Ukraine changed significantly. The war caused multiple shifts within the different churches and their attitude to questions of society, politics and international relations. The framework of majority - minority relations in Ukrainian inter-orthodox and inter-Christian landscape is helpful in order to understand the dynamics within the different branches of Ukrainian Orthodoxy and within the Ukrainian society. The paper shows, how the changing relations in numbers and societal acceptance provokes also new parameters of openness to social discourses and international (ecumenical) relations, and challenges the usual methods and approaches of agency.
