Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of the disintegration of the Catholic-Orthodox dialogue due to the position of the Moscow Orthodox Patriarchate, which supports the current military aggression in Ukraine. The basis for the reflection were issues related to: the prospect of bilateral dialogue based on the current model of ecumenical cooperation between the Vatican and Moscow; the specificity of historical ties between Moscow Orthodoxy and Ukrainian Orthodoxy; seeking agreement on the basis of common arrangements and gestures of goodwill and a different optics of the phenomenon of war and the associated responsibility. The developed analysis of the above-mentioned aspects formulates an appropriate view of the nature and meaning of Catholic-Orthodox relations, including Catholic-Orthodox-Moscow and Orthodox-Moscow-Ukrainian relations.
