Since 1994 Kyrill has hosted a weekly Orthodox TV program on [[w:Channel One (Russia)|ORT/Channel One]].
Conservatives in the ROC criticized Kyrill for his Ecumenical ecumenical activities throughout the 1990s. However, in a recent statement Metropolitan Kyrill stated that there could be no doctrinal compromise with the Roman Catholic Church, and that discussions with them did not have the goal of seeking unification.<ref>[http://www.interfax-religion.com/?act=news&div=5605 Russian Church against compromise on belief-preaching with Catholics - Metropolitan Kyrill], Interfax, January 21, 2009.</ref>
