Putin Warns of Potential Oil Disruption and Calls for New Energy Markets
On March 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin chaired a meeting at the Kremlin, where he discussed energy transport security, market trends, and strategic adjustments. Putin warned that oil production relying on the Strait of Hormuz could soon be completely disrupted, leading to higher oil and gas prices due to instability in the Middle East. He noted that while price increases might be temporary, Russia should proactively seek new markets for its energy supplies rather than waiting for Europe to end energy cooperation. Putin also expressed Russia's willingness to cooperate with European countries on energy, provided they offer clear signals of stable partnership.
