U oktobru je Velika Britanija uvela sankcije Kirillovu, navodeći da je nadgledao upotrebu hemijskog oružja u Ukrajini i djelovao kao "značajan glasnogovornik Kremljove dezinformacije".
U ponedjeljak je ukrajinska tajna služba, SBU, podigla optužnicu protiv njega u odsutnosti, objavivši na Telegramu da je "odgovoran za masovnu upotrebu zabranjenog hemijskog oružja".
