"The restriction of supplies in the Suez Canal hardly affected the supply of Russian Urals oil, which uses other delivery routes," RIA Novosti quotes the ministry's message.

It is noted that the unique geographical position of Russia gives it natural advantages in the world energy market in terms of access to the main consumer markets, as well as the speed of delivery of fuel and energy complex goods.

Earlier, the Russian ambassador to Cairo, Georgy Borisenko, said that Russia was ready to assist Egypt in the situation with the container ship Ever Given, which blocked the Suez Canal.

On the morning of March 29, reports emerged that the container ship had been run aground.
