The US Treasury admitted that Russia could increase oil revenues

“Our goal is to reduce the level of income (of Russia from the sale of oil. -

), despite the fact that countries can continue to buy Russian oil,” TASS quoted him as saying at a hearing in Congress.

Adeyemo explained that Russia today sells less oil in terms of barrels, but can make more profit due to rising prices.

Earlier, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that the Russian economy had withstood the first shock from the imposed sanctions.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that sanctions against Russian oil would negatively affect the entire global energy market.
