This is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe won’t, Kaja Kallas said

BRUSSELS, October 10. /TASS/. The European Union is unhappy with Washington's decision to allow Russian diesel imports and plans to adopt the 22nd package of sanctions on Moscow, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said.

"Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues," she wrote on X. "This is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe won’t," Kallas stressed.

"On Monday, EU Foreign Ministers intend to approve the biggest set of sanctions listings," she added.

On October 8, EU ambassadors approved a move to blacklist over 1,500 companies and individuals linked to the production of military and dual-use goods.

Earlier, the US suspended its restrictions on Russian diesel imports and secondary sanctions on its sale on the global market.

Oh, in that case he’d better back out of the deal. We certainly wouldn’t want to upset the EU! 🙄

Of course the EU is pissed off. They have been working tirelessly to disrupt oil supplies and run the price of oil and fuel to astronomical levels via commodities futures manipulation in the run up to the 2026 elections

Their goal is to give Democrats control of Congress and shut down the Trump Administration

The Trump Team is pretty ruthless and a lot of anti Trump speculators who are trying to manipulate oil prices before the November are going to get a serious haircut when it becomes obvious that oil and diesel is not going to be in short supply .

On s side note - it looks like the Trump Team has finally had enough of the Zelensky shuck and jive.

Didn’t the EU tell PDJT to piss off when he asked for help with clearing the straits of Hormuz, and with containing Iran?

“EU Unhappy with US”

As it always will be reported when the US is doing the right thing.

When the EU is not unhappy, the free Western world needs to look out.
