The Kremlin announced on Thursday that Russia has developed strategies to reduce the impact of economic sanctions, a statement made following U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's remarks on non-renewal of an oil purchase waiver.
This waiver, which had been active since mid-March, permitted buying some Russian oil and products at sea without U.S. sanctions penalties, expired on April 11.
The initial waiver aimed to stabilize global energy prices amidst the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, highlighting the geopolitical complexity influencing economic policies.
