"We are their (additional income. — Ed.) we are waiting. <...> We are talking about the amount of about 200 billion rubles," he said in an interview with Pavel Zarubin, a journalist at the Vesti news agency.

On the same day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov admitted that there would be an increase in world oil prices in the event of a reduction in supplies of Russian raw materials due to strikes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on infrastructure.
