EU Foreign Policy Chief Calls US-Russia Diesel Deal ‘Gift to Putin,’ Backs Kyiv’s Strikes on Russian Refineries

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, in a statement made concurrently with the start of the European Union leaders’ summit, Kaja Kallas, the EU’s foreign policy chief, declared that a deal between the United States and Russia concerning diesel is a “gift to Putin.” She added that the main issue is for Russia to end the war, noting that a significant portion of Russia’s war budget is financed through oil sales.

Kallas further asserted that the EU supports Ukraine’s right to target Russian oil refineries. She claimed that according to international law, such attacks fall within the framework of Ukraine’s legitimate defense.
