The expansion of the Russian Orthodox Church in Africa has less to do with Ukraine and more to do with the church’s role within Moscow's neo-colonial ambitions on the continent Opinion | dmytro_horyevoy
It is highly likely that the decision to establish an exarchate was agreed upon — or at least discussed — with the foreign ministry.
The toughest scenario calls for institutional sanctions: the abolition of Moscow Patriarchate and liquidation of the ROC by annulling its autocephaly. The fundamental document that established patriarchy in Moscow and recognised the autocephaly of the ROC was the charter of 1593, signed by the four Eastern Patriarchs. The modern Eastern patriarchs can simply revoke the signatures of their predecessors under this document, due to violations, and it will automatically become invalid.
The other two — the Antioch and the Jerusalem — are neutral on the Ukrainian issue but may take a different stance on the ROC's moves in Africa.
