Moscow, Russia –
BRICS nations are demonstrating growing interest in Russian energy exports, including oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG), petroleum products, and coal, despite ongoing Western sanctions, according to Deputy Energy Minister Roman Marshavin.
Speaking to Sputnik, Marshavin revealed that demand for Russian oil among BRICS members has already surpassed available volumes, most of which are pre-contracted. Interest also extends to energy projects under Western sanctions, suggesting an expanding zone of cooperation beyond conventional trade.
“Our BRICS partners are not only interested in energy supplies but also in Russia’s experience trading under sanctions,” Marshavin noted, highlighting Russia’s success in reorienting exports and maintaining volumes during 2022.
Marshavin emphasized Russia’s readiness to assist BRICS countries in building joint economic infrastructure, including the creation of alternative payment systems and independent logistics frameworks aimed at reducing reliance on Western-controlled financial systems and credit ratings.
The growing collaboration signals a strengthening South-South energy alliance, with BRICS increasingly looking toward resource-sharing, energy security, and financial autonomy.
