In brief
The former Trump envoy's position contrasts with the US president's call to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries, according to UNIAN's account of a Bloomberg interview.
Keith Kellogg, Donald Trump's former envoy to Kyiv, said Ukraine should have full freedom to strike targets inside Russia in response to Moscow's war, UNIAN reported on October 12, citing Bloomberg.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Warsaw Security Forum, Kellogg pointed to Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and said Kyiv should strike targets in Russia if it considered that necessary. He also argued that Russia was prolonging the war rather than winning it.
UNIAN's account contrasted his remarks with Trump's call the previous weekend for Ukraine to stop strikes on Russian oil refineries. Kellogg's comments expressed the former envoy's view; the report did not announce a change in US administration policy.
