According to Peskov, in the modern world “it is impossible to simply cut off natural routes for energy supplies.”
“In one place you block something, in another place an alternative option will appear. A search will be carried out for work options that will minimize the consequences of sanctions,” he added.
The Kremlin representative also expressed hope that Russia will be able to resist the new US sanctions on nuclear energy and that Rosatom will continue its international activities.
“Of course, such decisions cannot lead to a certain destabilization of international energy markets,” concluded Peskov.

The new restrictions cover more than 400 individuals and organizations in Russia’s energy sector that directly or indirectly fund the Kremlin’s war machine.
