Moscow Patriarch Kirill, who has been widely criticized for his support for Putin's invasion of Ukraine, slipped and fell at a church service.

Munich/Moscow — He justified the Ukraine war and called on the soldiers of Russian ruler Vladimir Putin to fight: Moscow patriarch Kirill.

In the context of the Ukraine conflict, he attracted attention with his support for the invasion of Ukraine.

Even sanctions were considered against him, but due to resistance from Hungary, he narrowly escaped the measures.

All this made him extremely unpopular, especially in Ukraine.

At a mass dedicated to the dedication of a church in the southern Russian port and naval base of Novorossiysk, Patriarch Kirill slipped and fell.

For a Ukrainian opposition network, this is a "sign" from God.

His fall was due "to the laws of physics".

"The floor is beautiful, you can see your reflection in it, it's so shiny and smooth.

But if water gets on it, even if it's holy water, the laws of physics work", so he was unlucky "slipped", according to Kirill.

In the social networks, where the video of his fall quickly spread, criticism and malicious joy could also be heard.

The opposition Telegram channel "Solovjiny Pomjot" commented: "The Lord has given Russia a sign that it is a sin to pray for genocide."
