Amidst soaring energy prices due to the US-Israeli war on Iran in March 2026, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated Russia's readiness to resume oil and gas supplies to Europe. Putin indicated that Russia is open to renewed long-term cooperation with European customers if they are willing to return, despite previous reductions in reliance on Russian energy following the war in Ukraine and subsequent sanctions. He suggested Russian companies should capitalize on the Middle East conflict and the disruption of shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Putin emphasized that Russia has never refused cooperation free from political pressure.
