Russian Foreign Ministry Dismisses Kallas's Remarks on Train Incident
Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the EU's top diplomat merely voices the bloc's hostility toward Russia, after Kaja Kallas accused Moscow over an incident involving a Kiev-Warsaw train
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday that it was pointless to respond to European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, describing her as merely a "mouthpiece" for the bloc's hostility toward Russia, according to TASS.
Zakharova's remarks, reported by the Russian state news agency, came in response to Kallas accusing Russia of being behind an incident involving a passenger train traveling from Kiev to Warsaw. The nature of the incident was not detailed in the source report.
According to TASS, Zakharova said there was "no use saying anything at all" to the EU's chief diplomat, suggesting that Kallas's statements reflect a broader institutional stance within the European Union rather than an independent assessment.
The exchange adds to a series of public disputes between Moscow and Brussels, with Russian officials repeatedly rejecting accusations from EU representatives regarding incidents linked to the conflict in Ukraine.
TASS did not provide further details on the specific train incident referenced by Kallas, nor did it include a direct response from EU officials to Zakharova's characterization.
