Russia to minimize Western influence on energy market

Moscow, Jan 29 (Prensa Latina) Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the West is trying to create obstacles to the country's energy market with its illegal sanctions, while Russia is working to minimize the consequences of those measures.

“Both the United States and the Europeans are trying to obstruct our trade agreements in the field of resources and energy with these illegal restrictions,” the Kremlin spokesman told reporters.

He added that Moscow is taking steps to reduce the consequences of such decisions, so that companies have the opportunity to continue trading. “We will continue to work consistently in this area,” Peskov said.

On January 10, just days before the end of its term, the administration of former US President Joe Biden announced a wide package of sanctions against the Russian oil and gas sector.

The measures affected the energy companies Gazprom Neft, Surgutneftegaz and their affiliates.

In addition, such restrictions also included 183 oilers, traders, oil service companies, managers of various oil companies and representatives of the top of the Energy Ministry of Russia.
