Moscow says global energy market 'cannot remain stable' without Russian oil

Russia's economic envoy Kirill Dmitriev said Friday that the global energy market "cannot remain stable" without his country's oil.

His comments came after the United States said it would temporarily allow the sale of Russian oil that is at sea, as energy prices soared after US-Israeli strikes on Iran plunged the oil-rich Middle East into war.

"The United States is effectively acknowledging the obvious: without Russian oil, the global energy market cannot remain stable," Dmitriev posted on Telegram.
