This is not a matter of personal opinion. The Canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church is under the Moscow Patriarchate. Despite being two political entities- Gosudarstvo (Russia and Ukraine), they are one people- Narod. Kiev was the original capital of Rus'. After the fall of the Mongol-Tatar yoke, Moscow emerged as the second capital of Rus'. Ukraine comes from the Slavonic word "Okraina", which meant border and has also been known as "Little Russia", just as there is a "Great Russia" and "White Russia" (now Belarus). These three countries, due to historical events, have become separate political entities but are essentially one people. One can see similarities elsewhere in Europe between Germany and Austria and Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. One might also say that about the United States and Canada, but that is stretching it.
Historically, Rus' (Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine), have always been in one Orthodox Church. Despite that, the Moscow Patriarchate has granted the Ukrainian Church autonomy, so they have their own Synod of Bishops but Metropolitan Vladimir of Kiev is also a member of the Holy Synod of the Moscow Patriarchate and bishops, once elected have to be approved by Moscow. The Ukrainian Church could one day become autocephalous, but that can only be done with the blessing of the Moscow Patriarchate. The "Kiev Patriarchate" is now headed by "Patriarch" Philaret, who was once the canonical Metropolitan of Kiev. After not being elected Patriarch of Moscow in 1990, he soon went down the path of schism. So, the Ecumenical Patriarch is acting uncanonically when trying to settle these affairs. They acted similarly in Estonia and there are now two Orthodox jurisdictions there, one under Constantinople and the other under Moscow.
The canons are quite clear that there should be one ruling synod of bishops in a geographical and/or political territory. This is not the case in America (again mainly the fault of the Ecumenical Patriarchate) and in other countries where Orthodox people have immigrated, but this is not the canonical norm and should not spread to traditional Orthodox lands.
