Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Dismisses Kallas as 'Mouthpiece' for EU Stance on Russia

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas serves merely as a spokesperson for what she described as the EU's hostility toward Russia, according to an interview published by Russian state news agency TASS.

Zakharova's remarks came in response to a question about Kallas's accusation that Russia was behind an incident involving a Warsaw-bound passenger train traveling from Kiev, TASS reported. The nature of the alleged incident was not detailed in the source material.

According to TASS, Zakharova said it was pointless to respond directly to Kallas, characterizing her as merely echoing broader EU sentiment against Russia rather than articulating an independent position.

TASS did not provide additional details on the specifics of the train incident or offer independent verification of Kallas's original accusation. Reuters and other Western outlets have not been cited in this report, and Kallas's original statement was not directly quoted in the available source material.

Neither the European Union nor Kallas's office was quoted in the TASS report responding to Zakharova's characterization. This article is based solely on claims reported by TASS, a Russian state-controlled news agency, and could not be independently verified.
