It is one of only five archiepiscopal exarchates worldwide - all of them being Ukrainian Rite.
In an interview with Aid to the Church in Need, Bishop Tuchapets described the social reality of his diocese in the following terms. “We started our work with our Greek Catholic Church faithful, made up mostly of former university students who remained in Kharkiv, and by former deportees to Siberia, but now most parishioners are locals who have found their faith through contact with our parishes. I think our task is to plough, to prepare the ground, after us come those who will sow, and the next generations will already reap."[1]
As Major Archbishops have similar authority to that of Patriarchs, Archiepiscopal Exarchates similarly have roughly the same status in canon law as Patriarchal Exarchates.
