I was curious if there is a particular counterpart in the Eastern Orthodox church to the Ruthenian and Ukrainian Churches of the Byzantine Rite of the Eastern Catholic Churches?

Ruthenian:
  • ACROD (American Carpetho-Rusyn Orthodox Dicocese)
Ukrainian: * Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kyiv Patriarchate** Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Moscow Patriarchate* Autocephalous Ukrainian Orthodox Church** Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada** Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA** Ukrainian Autonomous Orthodox Church** Autocephalous Church of Poland aka Polish Orthodox Church**

*non-canonical, according to SCOBA.
** canonical, but no longer seen as Ukrainian, tho’ of descent of the Ukrainian Orthodox and Russian Orthodox both.

No. Hold it Aramis. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the U.S.A. and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada are canonical. They came into communion with Constantinople in the 1990s under the agreement that they would have nothing to do with the nationally-conscious Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Ukraine then forming in newly independent Ukraine from under the communist rubble and away from Moscow. This was a very controversial decision on their part in the eyes of MANY faithful in the Ukrainian diaspora, who saw the Russian Orthodox Church of Moscow as a continuation of the Soviet one. Some Ukrainian Orthodox here (North America) attempted to split and take parishes with them to the KP. However, the hierarchy is sticking to its canonicity which means no concelebration of liturgy with bishops from the KP or UAOC in North America, though the Ukrainian Orthodox clergy are the first to greet them when they land on visiting trips to North America.

Look here for Metropolitan Constantine of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Boundbrook in the States and being canonically recognized. scoba.us/jurisdictions.html

As for the Orthodox Churches in Ukraine, last I heard the KP and MP have been put into negotiations and we will see how this plays out.
