In his view, very probably - or at least he just ignores those even if he believes any reports of them that might reach him. If they reach him at all: the Kremlin has so clamped down on communications and so distorted the situation that Kiril might hear only very watered-down versions, if any.
The Patriarch Kiril thinks it a "holy" war, or rather "special military operation" though.
In USSR days Kiril was not only the Russian Orthodox Church's official representative to the World Council of Churches. He was the KGB's eyes and ears there.
