The Kremlin said on Tuesday that there were a huge number of requests for Russian energy supplies from a range of different places amid a grave global energy crisis.
Russia is the world’s second largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia and holds the world’s largest natural gas reserves.
President Vladimir Putin has suggested switching supplies away from European customers who have repeatedly said they no longer want to buy Russian energy due to the war in Ukraine.
“Now that the world has confidently embarked on the path of a rather serious economic and energy crisis, which is growing day by day, the market and market conditions in the field of energy and energy resources have completely changed,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
“There are a huge number of requests for the purchase of our energy resources from alternative sources. We are negotiating, we are negotiating in such a way that this situation best suits our interests.”
