“What we want is for Russian oil to continue to flow to world markets in order to contain the growth of global oil prices and avoid a jump that could provoke a global recession,” RIA Novosti quoted Yellen as saying at a congressional hearing.
At the same time, she noted that the goal of the US authorities remains to limit the oil revenues of the Russian Federation.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, said that the oil embargo on Russian oil aggravates the position of the United States and the country has no way out.
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.
