https://doi.org/10.48137/26870703_2024_25_1_111
Abstract
The energy sector has traditionally been the focus of the aspirations of various actors in the global foreign policy arena. In addition, in modern realities, the national economy, its current state and development prospects are closely related to the state of the country’s energy complex and its ability to ensure an appropriate level of energy security. Key energy issues, especially if they are of a cross-border nature, often acquire a powerful political component, and they themselves directly relate to the sphere of the most important national interests for any sovereign state. The author analyzed the process of reorientation of Russian energy exports to Asian and other markets and summarized the results of this process in 2022 and 2023. The paper analyzes the effects of the sanctions imposed against the Russian fuel and energy sector for our country, as well as for the states of the European Union, the United States and other initiators of such restrictions. The article also discusses the prospects for cooperation between Russia and the countries of the «non-Western» bloc in the field of energy in the medium term.
