EU Ambassador Calls on Ukraine to Strike Moscow
Former EU Ambassador to Ukraine José Manuel Pinto Teixeira stated that, following Russia’s strikes on Kyiv, Ukraine has the right to respond with strikes on the Russian capital.
The diplomat was responding to a post by the current head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine, Katarina Maternová, regarding the Russian attack on Kyiv on September 4. At that time, a “Shahed” drone struck the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) building near St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Teixeira called Russia a “terrorist state” and stated that “it is time for Ukrainian drones to visit the center of Moscow.”
José Manuel Pinto Teixeira headed the EU Delegation to Ukraine from 2008 to 2012.

The day before, the Russian oil refinery “Kirishinefteorgsintez” in the Leningrad Region completely halted oil refining following a drone attack on August 30. According to Reuters, two primary refining units at the facility were damaged, while two others were not in operation at the time of the strike.
Russia has reportedly restored 90% of the oil refining capacity damaged as a result of Ukrainian attacks. According to Vladimir Putin, about 10% of Russian refineries’ capacity remains damaged at this time.
