Don't let the Iran war distract attention from Russia's war in Ukraine, warns Kallas, who disapproves of US measures to ease rising oil prices.

The US easing of sanctions on Russian oil is a dangerous precedent, because right now we need to ensure Russia has less money to wage war, not more, says Kallas on his way to Monday's EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels.

Even within the EU, voices from countries such as Hungary and Belgium are calling to ease energy sanctions. However, the majority say no - including Sweden.

Russia is slaughtering innocent people in Ukraine every week. We will not feed the Russian war machine, says Minister of Energy and Industry Ebba Busch (KD).
