“I have my own favorite, who, in my opinion, should be subject to sanctions, namely, Mr. Patriarch Kirill,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Sikorsky called the patriarch a gentleman who justifies the SVO, since the Russian army protects the population of new regions from gay pride parades.

“I believe that a priest who abuses religion in this way to incite hatred should not have the right to enter the European Union,” the politician added.

Earlier, the Estonian Foreign Ministry banned 58 Russians from entering the country, including Patriarch Kirill.

In April, the Czech Republic imposed sanctions against Patriarch Kirill.

Also, the Lithuanian authorities banned Patriarch Kirill from entering the republic.
