Kremlin Says Demand for Russian Energy Surges Amid Global Crisis

The Kremlin said demand is rising as Russia shifts oil and gas eastward, with Urals crude trading $5 to $8 above Brent last month.

  • On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reported a surge in requests for Russian energy, stating that global market conditions have fundamentally changed and now favor Russia's interests.
  • The Israeli war against Iran has triggered a global energy crisis by trapping oil in the Gulf, forcing Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz to most vessels.
  • Ukrainian strikes on refineries and pipelines have cut export capacity by 1 million barrels per day, constraining Russia despite producing around 10 million barrels of crude daily.
  • President Vladimir Putin continues diverting energy eastward, with Yamal LNG sending its first cargo to China since November, positioning Russia ahead of Europe's upcoming import bans.
