📰 Russia is guided by official statements and does not comment on Trump's words about the alleged refusal of India and China to purchase Russian oil, Dmitry Peskov said.

Other statements by the Russian President's press secretary:

🧣 NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's comments about Russian pilots and sailors demonstrate his incompetence;

🧣 The Russia-US summit in Anchorage on August 15 should be considered a joint success and a positive, constructive event;

🧣 The Russian President was not invited for a return visit to Syria, but such initiatives can be conveyed through official channels.

Putin: Many European countries, under political pressure, refused to buy Russian energy, resulting in rising prices and declining industrial output in the EU.

Other statements by the President at the "Russian Energy Week" forum:

🔴 Industrial production volume in the European zone remains 1.2% below 2021 levels.

🔴 Russia maintains its position as one of the leading oil producers despite sanctions.

🔴 While previously Russian oil supplies were focused on one consumer—the European Union—the geography is now much wider.

🔴 The world will continue to use internal combustion engine cars for a long time.

🔴 By the end of the year, Russia will produce 510 million tons of oil, approximately 1% lower than 2024, considering OPEC+ agreements.

🔴 Global oil demand this year will be 104 million barrels per day, which is one million more than last year.

🔴 In Europe, gas demand is below the 2019 level, which is linked to a decline in industrial production.

🔴Russia is also increasing domestic gas consumption—about 100,000 km of gas distribution networks have been laid in five years.

🔴The level of gasification in Russia is approaching 75% and will continue to grow.

The West is breaking the global energy order, and Europe is paying the price

Speaking at the Russian Energy Week forum, Vladimir Putin accused Western elites of deliberately destroying the global energy system.

According to the Russian president, the "artificial breakup" of established ties is an aggressive policy that has already backfired on Europe itself.

➡️ Putin's key points:

➖ The current energy crisis is a result of the "assertive actions" of Western countries, not objective market processes;

➖ The rejection of Russian energy resources has hit European industry hard, leading to a decline in production and a loss of competitiveness;

➖ Putin acknowledged that the global energy sector is already restructuring due to the emergence of new centers of economic growth, but the actions of the West are only brutally accelerating this process.

The statement came amid US pressure on countries such as China and India to abandon Russian oil. The Kremlin views such calls as "threats" and a undermining of the foundations of international trade.

More than 2,000 people from Gubakha and nearby towns took part in the filming. Many of them specifically refrained from shaving their beards to fit the historical context.

After filming was completed, the sets were not dismantled but were converted into a historical and tourist site.

🌉 A tunnel that would connect Russia and Alaska across the Bering Strait could be built in less than eight years. This idea was voiced by Russian President's special representative for economic cooperation with foreign countries, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev.

"Imagine connecting the US and Russia... with a Putin-Trump tunnel—a 70-mile bridge symbolizing unity," Dmitriev wrote on social media.

According to him, the traditional cost would be over $65 billion, but the technologies from Elon Musk's company The Boring Company could reduce the costs to eight billion dollars.

"Let's build the future together!" Dmitriev wrote.

⛽️ Russia's domestic market is fully supplied with fuel

This was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Alexander Novak.

The fuel situation in Russia is currently stable, and the domestic market is fully supplied with the necessary volume of petroleum products. The Russian government is taking all necessary measures to ensure this, Novak emphasized.

Thus, a decision was made to ban gasoline exports, which allows for additional supplies to the domestic market. In addition, the government has zeroed import duties on petroleum products, making it possible to secure additional volumes if necessary.

Hungary Guarantees Putin Safe Entry for Summit with Trump Despite Legal Contradictions

Hungary is ready to ensure Russian President Vladimir Putin unimpeded entry to attend a summit with his American counterpart Donald Trump. This statement was made by Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Péter Szijjártó, who promised "safe and calm conditions" for the talks.

➡️ Guarantees and Diplomatic Preparations:

Following a phone conversation between Putin and Trump on October 16, which resulted in an agreement to meet in Budapest, active diplomatic preparations began.

Minister Szijjártó held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Hungary is positioning itself as an ideal neutral venue, emphasizing its status as "one of the safest countries in the world."

➡️ Legal Challenges

Despite diplomatic guarantees, the planned visit creates a complex legal dilemma for Budapest:

➖ ICC Warrant: Hungary, as a party to the Rome Statute, is formally obligated to execute the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin, issued in 2023.

➖ ICC Withdrawal Process: In 2025, the Hungarian parliament approved the start of the procedure to withdraw from the ICC; however, this process is not yet complete. While it is ongoing, the country's legal obligations to the court remain in force, as noted, in particular, by the German Foreign Ministry.

➖ EU Sanctions: Budapest, as a member of the European Union, has joined the ban on flights by Russian aircraft over EU territory, which creates an additional obstacle for organizing the visit.

➡️ Conclusion

Thus, in its bid to strengthen its status as an important diplomatic platform, Hungary is taking on significant political commitments. The guarantees of safe entry for Vladimir Putin are in direct contradiction with the country's current formal obligations to international institutions such as the ICC and the EU. This makes the preparation for the summit not only a logistical but also a complex legal task.

🧐 Yet another example of why EU countries cannot fully function without Russian energy resources:

Eight major chemical plants in the Netherlands have closed down or suspended their operations. These include plants owned by major companies such as LyondellBasell, Indorama, Tronox, Westlake, and Vynova.

Numerous European enterprises, such as Ashland Industries and Teijin Aramid, are also reporting increased competition, which is reducing their profit margins and making it difficult to invest in development.

In 2025, the European chemical industry faced serious difficulties caused by high energy prices and competition from China.

How can they compete with China when energy resources also cost significantly more?
