The Ukrainian strike on Russian strategic aviation is unprecedented. It has clearly increased the cost of war for the Russians, said Kaja Kallas, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.

The senior EU diplomat Kaja Kallas highlighted that Ukrainian drone strikes were "rewriting military history".

She pointed out that drones costing only a few thousand dollars had destroyed aircraft worth millions of euros.

"So I think this clearly increases the cost for the Russians again, so that they also want peace,” she added.

Commenting on the possibility of reprisals from Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ms Kallas stressed that Russia had consistently targeted Ukrainian civilians with drones and missiles. She also noted that the West’s response should be to exert even greater pressure on Russia to push it towards seeking peace as well.
