Washington is starting to understand the key role of Russian energy in global stability, Kirill Dmitriev has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russia and the US have held talks over the ongoing oil crisis triggered by the US-Israeli war on Iran, Kirill Dmitriev, an investment envoy to President Vladimir Putin, has announced.<\/p>\n

In a post on Telegram on Thursday, Dmitriev said he had traveled to the US at Putin\u2019s request to attend a working group meeting on economic cooperation between Moscow and Washington.<\/p>\n

The sides, he said, discussed \u201cpotential projects\u201d<\/em> that could help restore Russian-American relations, along with \u201cthe current crisis in global energy markets.\u201d<\/em>

\u201cToday many countries, above all the US, are beginning to better understand the key, system-forming role of Russian oil and gas in ensuring global economic stability, as well as the ineffectiveness and destructive nature of sanctions against Russia,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n

In a separate post on X, he thanked US special envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner \u2013 President Donald Trump\u2019s son-in-law \u2013 and White House senior adviser Josh Gruenbaum for a \u201cproductive meeting.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Witkoff also confirmed the talks, which took place in Florida, adding that \u201cthe teams discussed a variety of topics and agreed to stay in touch.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The discussions followed a phone call between Trump and Putin on Monday, which covered several issues, including the Middle East conflict. Moscow described the call as \u201cbusinesslike, frank and constructive,\u201d<\/em> while Trump called the conversation \u201cvery good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The US and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran on February 28, prompting Iranian retaliatory attacks across the region. The crisis led to a de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz \u2013 a route that carries roughly one-fifth of the world\u2019s daily oil supply \u2013 sending oil prices surging nearly 50% to almost $120 per barrel.<\/p>\n

Although the rally eased after several countries agreed to release strategic reserves, prices rose again to above $100 on Thursday.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Putin said that Moscow had \u201crepeatedly warned that attempts to destabilize the situation in the Middle East would inevitably jeopardize\u201d<\/em> global energy supply and cautioned that Hormuz oil flows risked stopping entirely. He also stressed that Russia would be open to resuming oil and gas supplies to the EU, a proposal dismissed by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who warned that a return to Russian energy would be a \u201cstrategic blunder.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
