After the end of the procession, the Patriarch felt unwell and was escorted to an ambulance. According to the report, medics believe the indisposition was caused by the heat.

Patriarch Kirill is obliged to convince the global audience

The head of the ROC received the task of convincing the global religious community that it is not Russia that violates the principles of religious freedom, but Ukraine. In his meetings with religious figures, the Patriarch will try to prove that «evil is good, and lies are truth».

At a previously gathered rally, Patriarch Kirill called on the ROC believers to go to war. He emphasized that Russians must defend Russia from external and internal enemies. He also thanked Putin for the war in Ukraine and supported the war crimes of the occupying army.
