“Russia will not sell anything to itself at a loss.

In any case, if somewhere demand is reduced, somewhere it increases, there is a reorientation of flows, a search for the most favorable conditions,” Peskov said.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden said that Western countries are discussing the option of purchasing Russian oil at below market prices instead of refusing to import it.

Leading analyst of the National Energy Security Fund, expert of the Financial University Igor Yushkov, in an interview with NSN, expressed the opinion that Europe and the United States are unprofitable for the oil shortage due to anti-Russian sanctions, so Russia can compensate for the losses from the embargo.
