Kallas: Understandable Why Ukraine Targets Russia's Oil Revenues


Date:

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas made the remarks ahead of a European Council meeting in Brussels, Ukrinform reports.

"The majority of Russia's funding for the war comes from oil revenue. So clearly, Ukraine wants this war to stop, and that is why cutting off the funding for the war is the way to do it," Kallas said.

She expressed her conviction that the West should "put pressure on Russia" rather than force Ukraine to surrender in order to end the war, adding that the EU was "very committed."
