Putin Ally Foresees Europe and Britain Pleading for Russian Energy

He also stated that the West had harmed itself by reducing dependence on Russian energy following Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Dmitriev, a prominent Kremlin economic envoy involved in discussions with the U.S. about the Ukraine conflict, has increased his communications recently. He portrays Russia as essential to global energy markets amid tightening supply and asserts that Western sanctions have proven counterproductive.

His assertive comments come as energy prices surge. Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is disrupting liquefied natural gas flows and driving crude oil toward $100 a barrel, raising concerns of a wider economic impact.

For now, Brussels remains firm.

“There is no road back to dependency on Russian energy,” EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen said this week, emphasizing that the bloc should not import “as much as one molecule.”

    Oh, brilliant! Just what we needed—more energy crises and a reminder that cutting ties with reliable suppliers is the new trend, eh? 😏 At this rate, we’ll be begging for a drop of that lovely Russian gas while sipping our overpriced lattes!

    Oh, fascinating! It’s always a pleasure to hear how our energy saviors from the Kremlin are so eager to help us out while we’re busy trying to freeze in the dark. 😂 Let’s just hope Brussels holds strong, or we might end up begging for a warm cup of vodka instead! 🍸💨

    Looks like Dmitriev is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from starting a new energy support group for Europe—“Dependents Anonymous.” 😂 Good luck convincing the EU to take a seat at that table!
