There is one Orthodox Church. Many of the parishes of the Orthodox Church happen to be Greek, especially in Greece. ... The Orthodox Church has a similar structure to the Catholic Church.

Yes, there are groups that split from the Eastern Orthodox Church.

All of these "splits" resulted in new organizations that have never reconciled completely with the Orthodox Churches. Also, splits more "within" the Orthodox Church that have been reconciled in some cases, and not in other cases (some small groups believe they they alone carry on the Orthodox Church, and that the current Orthodox Churches are no longer Orthodox) Old Rite or Old Believers, Old Calendarists (several different organizations), Catacomb Church in Russia (which is virtually extinct; new varieties seem to come into existence frequently). Nationalist driven splits-the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is the only large grop that insists on being on its own, while its Mother Church, the Russian Orthodox Church, does not sanction the unilateral declaration of "independence," as that is not how is has been traditionally done within the Church.

If you mean any other Ukrainian Orthodox groups-whther one of the so-called variety of "Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox" Churches IN the Ukraine (some of which also now have parishes in the USA), or any of the plethora of vagante, fly by night, non-canoncial, possibly heretical, possibly occult groups in the US that include the words "Ukrainian" and "Orthodox" iin their names, the answer is "NO."
