If you want to dwelve into it, it's a bit complicated but mostly yes.

Now there are a few different "branches" of orthodoxy in Ukraine. Main one is recognized by Constantinople, alternative one by Moscow, with some interpersonal disagreement with minors branches and the rest of the orthodox world relatively split

It is honestly, there are many layers to this ! The obvious ones are the geopolitical and religious aspects, but heads of the competing Ukrainian churches have also complicated personal relationships which makes it sometime even more absurd !

There are also discussion like : "Sure it was the right decision, but who is the mother church of who and who gets to decides, and who gets consulted, and how do you decide, and also we don't want a schism, and..." blablabla

The only canonical church is the one associated with Moscow and most of the orthodox churches across the world agree. The fact that the guy in turkey had allowed the “new” church to be accepted had caused a schism in the church that may take years to heal.

Lol what century are you from? Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. It is İstanbul. It is also Muslim. What do you mean by "Main one is recognize by Constantinople?"

The holy Roman empire had their capital there but as I said above that all came to an en in 1453...

My dude, it's still the official title of the church, I don't make the rules : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumenical_Patriarch_of_Constantinople

But you could have used google before posting you rant couldn't you?

Similarly, Leningrad Zoo is still called Leningrad Zoo, regardless of the change of name for St Petersburg...

Imagine being this stoked to dunk on a stranger while also being this ignorant and this confident in your ignorance you don't even go check it out first.
