The problem of interreligious communication is relevant for the modern Ukrainian state. There are many religions in Ukraine and Orthodoxy is the dominant religion. Another feature of the current religious life of Ukraine is the intensive development of neo-religions. It is important to conduct a deliberate policy aimed at harmonizing inter-confessional relationships by combining the efforts of the subjects themselves of the church, state and civil society. In this context, the relevant European experience may be quite useful. Europe is a multicultural, polyreligiouscommunity, in which dialogue is the most effective step towards mutual respect, mutual understanding, tolerance.
The peculiarity of the Ukrainian situation is that the largest confessions of the countries are united under the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations.
