On October 10, 2026, General Kellogg, a former U.S. Special Representative, expressed support for Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries (NPPs). He emphasized that these actions are part of a military operation and considers them to be correct.
Kellogg's Position
In an interview on Fox News, General Kellogg stated that Russia is attempting to convince both Ukrainians and Americans to stop attacks on its NPPs. However, according to him, Ukraine should not yield to these calls and must continue to strike at strategically important targets.
The Importance of Strikes on Refineries
The General highlighted that attacks on Russian NPPs are crucial for diminishing the enemy's resource base. Among the main reasons why these strikes are necessary, he pointed out:
- Reducing Russia's ability to supply fuel for military operations.
- Supporting the morale of Ukrainian military and civilians.
- Ensuring a strategic advantage on the battlefield.
Thus, General Kellogg confirmed that Ukraine must continue its military strategy, which includes strikes on Russian NPPs, as part of the overall struggle for independence and territorial integrity of the country.
