Philosopher and journalist Toni Nikolov discussed the European Union's upcoming 21st sanctions package during a bTV morning broadcast. The package includes Russian Patriarch Kirill, targeting his role as an apologist for the war. Nikolov emphasized that these measures are not directed at the Orthodox faith itself. Instead, the sanctions focus on the Patriarch's political support for military aggression. The expert clarified the distinction between religious practice and political advocacy. This move reflects the EU's strategy to hold high-ranking officials accountable for supporting the conflict. The sanctions aim to isolate those providing ideological justification for the war.
