Kremlin says lifting sanctions would bring down world energy prices
The claim comes as Russian officials press the case for sanctions relief amid diplomatic contacts with Washington.
Published
The Kremlin said world energy prices would decline if sanctions on Russia were lifted.
The statement fits a line Moscow has pressed in recent weeks: that removing sanctions, not curbing Ukrainian strikes, is what would steady energy markets.
The comment lands amid active diplomatic contacts between Moscow and Washington, including outreach from President Trump to Russian officials at the G20. Trump has pushed for an energy truce and said he is open to discussing sanctions relief.
For anyone pricing energy risk, the statement is best read as a negotiating position rather than a market signal. It is designed to build leverage in talks with Washington, not to describe a change already under way.
