As protests against military mobilizations continue across Russia, a religious leader has lashed out.
A lot of people say they are outraged.
The Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill holds a service in a monastery.
By the way, he said at this point, "To be killed in service is undoubtedly an act equivalent to sacrifice, and it washes away all the sins of a person."
He made a statement in support of the war by borrowing 'God's will'.
Patriarch Kirill, a close confidant of Russian President Putin, has previously sparked controversy for his remarks in support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
People were outraged at this remark, saying, "Let's send Patriarch Kirill to the front line so that he can wash his sins away."
