[Kremlin Press Conference: Comments on US Sanctions Relaxation]

Moscow time March 13, 2026, Dmitry Peskov, Deputy Head of the Russian President's Office and Kremlin Spokesperson, responded to questions from the Kremlin press corps (Question: How does the Kremlin evaluate the US relaxation of sanctions against Russian energy carriers, and whether it is expected that sanctions against Russian energy will be further adjusted?) as follows:

The Kremlin has noted the US statement on easing sanctions against Russian oil. In this case, we see that the US has taken actions to stabilize the energy market. We really believe that the escalation of the crisis in the global energy industry is full of tension. Of course, these actions have helped stabilize the market to some extent.
