Estonia Wants to Arm Ukraine to Flatten Russian Refineries

Original version ·

Angry over US deals with Moscow for cheap fuel, Estonia’s prime minister Kristen Michal just pitched the most straightforward counter-strategy yet.

After spending years badgering European allies to ditch Russian energy, Washington casually greenlit Russian diesel purchases to tame pump prices. Estonia’s prime minister didn't mince words, calling backroom deals with dictators an express ticket to hell.

Instead of just whining about it at the upcoming European Council meeting, he suggested a remarkably direct fix: give Ukraine whatever aid it needs to blow Russia's refineries completely to pieces. No working refineries means no diesel to cut questionable deals over.

Few things highlight the contrast in Western strategy quite like watching one partner license fuel cash while another suggests erasing the actual processing plants.
