Kremlin Slams Ukraine's Criminal Acts For Stoking Global Oil Crunch
10:00 GMT 29.04.2026 (Updated: 12:09 GMT 29.04.2026) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The criminal actions of the Kiev regime are fueling the shortage of oil on world markets, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
"The global energy community is desperately struggling with the consequences of oil shortages on international markets, which is being spurred on by such criminal actions by the Kiev regime," Peskov told reporters.
Ukraine is losing territories on the battlefield every day, that's why it fully stooped to terrorist activity, Peskov added.
No military equipment will be featured at this year's Victory Day parade as part of efforts to reduce risks amid the terrorist threat, Peskov said.
"The Kiev regime, which is losing ground on the battlefield every day, has now launched into terrorist activity, so against the background of this terrorist threat, of course, all measures are being taken to minimize the danger," Peskov told reporters.
Specialists in the Russian city of Tuapse are heroically battling the aftermath of strikes by Ukrainian troops, the Kremlin spokesman said.
"A lot of hard work is underway, involving hundreds and hundreds of people, hundreds and hundreds of specialists who are heroically fighting the consequences of these terrorist attacks," Peskov told reporters.
Minimizing the consequences of Kiev's strikes on Tuapse continues, the official said, adding that it is too early to assess the results.
"Measures are being taken, [Russian Minister of Emergency Situations Alexander] Kurenkov is monitoring on the spot. A meeting was held on the results of the work on site. And the entire assessment of the situation on the ground was given by the minister," Peskov said.
On Tuesday,
Russian President Vladimir Putin received several reports from the minister on the situation in Tuapse, the official added.
The process of exchanging renowned Russian archaeologist Alexander Butyagin was very difficult, and the Russian special services conducted it successfully, Peskov said.
"Of course, it was a very difficult and responsible process. And it was successfully carried out and finalized by our special services," Peskov told reporters when asked how the Kremlin assessed the operation to free Butyagin.
On Tuesday, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that Butyagin has been released from a Polish prison.
On a different note, Russia is not considering the possibility of pulling out of OPEC+, Dmitry Peskov assured.
When asked whether Russia was considering withdrawing from OPEC+, Peskov answered reporters with a resounding "no." The work of OPEC+, he added, helps minimize fluctuations in energy markets and stabilizes them.
Russia welcomes the UAE's intention to take a responsible position in the energy markets after leaving the
OPEC and the OPEC+, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
On Tuesday, the WAM news agency reported that the UAE announced its decision to leave OPEC and OPEC+ starting May 1.
"We welcome the statements that came from Abu Dhabi that the Emirates will continue to take a responsible position in the energy markets and coordinate on a bilateral basis," Peskov told reporters.
Russia expects to continue constructive contacts with the UAE, including within the framework of energy dialogue, the spokesman said.
"This is a sovereign decision of the United Arab Emirates. We respect that," Peskov said.
The OPEC+ format is especially important in the current conditions, when the global energy markets are "going through a storm," the spokesman added.
"We would like to hope so," Peskov said, answering a question about whether the Kremlin believes that the UAE's withdrawal from OPEC + does not spell the end of OPEC+ as an association of countries.
