Putin urged Russian energy companies to prepare for EU oil embargo

“I see that some colleagues are already starting to be somewhat superficial about the measures that we must take to eliminate possible threats. Like, they don’t give a damn about these sanctions, they went away, everything is already in the past, we coped with everything and feel confidently. Yes, we should feel confident, but we must see the risks,” Putin said.

The Kremlin dictator added that the country’s oil production is growing. Since the beginning of the year, the level of production has exceeded the figure of the previous year by 3.5%.
