EU to Sanction Patriarch Kirill

The European Union is now moving to sanction Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church after Hungary’s previous veto was lifted. This action follows the EU’s initial attempt in 2022 to target Kirill due to his support for Russia’s war in Ukraine. The move removes a key obstacle to imposing consequences on religious figures involved in supporting the conflict.
