Kirill was detained in the spring of 2025 as part of a criminal case under the article "assistance to extremist activity," and in the fall of the same year he was found guilty and sentenced to restricted freedom with referral.

Kirill's wife has multiple sclerosis. In 2021, she was assigned a third-degree disability. The disease requires constant monitoring and regular treatment, without which her condition can worsen. While Kirill was in prison, his wife's condition deteriorated sharply.
