Europe Will Have to Pay a Very High Price: Dmitriev

The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, Kirill Dmitriev, has stated that under the conditions of rising oil prices, Russia continues to be a crucial supplier of energy resources for the global economy. According to him, Russian resources play a key role in the stability of the energy market.

Dmitriev emphasized that it is difficult to imagine stable development of the global economy without Russian energy resources. He assessed that these resources are important not only for maintaining energy balance but also for ensuring economic growth.

He also criticized European policies towards Russia, calling it Russophobic. Dmitriev warned that the consequences of such policies could be significant for Europe. "Due to the mistakes of European bureaucrats and their Russophobic policies, Europe will have to pay a very high price," he stated.
