{{Main|Conflict between Filaret and Epiphanius}}
A conflict erupted between Filaret and [[Epiphanius I of Ukraine|Epiphanius]] because of disagreements concerning the model of governance, the management of the diaspora, the name and the statute of the OCU.

According to Filaret, the agreement reached at the unification council was as follows: "the [[Epiphanius I of Ukraine|primate]] is responsible for the external representation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), and the patriarch is responsible for the internal church life in Ukraine, but in cooperation with the primate. The primate shall do nothing in the church without the consent of the patriarch. The patriarch chairs the meetings of the Holy Synod and the UOC meetings for the sake of preserving unity, its growth, and affirmation." Filaret considers this agreement has not been fulfilled.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.unian.info/society/10549452-patriarch-filaret-talks-of-split-schools-metropolitan-epifaniy.html|title=Patriarch Filaret talks of split, schools Metropolitan Epifaniy|date=15 May 2019|website=www.unian.info|language=en|access-date=2019-05-15}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://risu.org.ua/ua/index/all_news/orthodox/ocu/75797/|title=Відмова від статусу Патріархату була чисто ситуативною, - почесний Патріарх Філарет виступив із заявою|date=15 May 2019|website=risu.org.ua|access-date=2019-05-15}}</ref>
