Ukraine has the right to continue striking Russian oil facilities, despite calls from the West to limit such attacks, as the survival of the state is at stake.
This view was expressed in an interview with Ukrinform by Max Pyziur, director of the U.S. research division at the Energy Policy Research Foundation.
“Absolutely! Definitely!” said Pyziur, responding to a question about whether it makes sense to attack Russian oil facilities. “I think the situation is already being impaired in Russia and it should be further degraded.”
According to him, Western countries have indeed repeatedly called on Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil infrastructure.
“But Ukraine does not necessarily have to pay attention to that anymore. It’s a question of survival,” the expert noted.
