MOSCOW, June 13: Russia cannot allow the United States to achieve global energy dominance and will resist attempts to establish it together with its partners within the G20, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large for G20 and APEC Marat Berdyev told RIA Novosti in an interview.
He said the US G20 presidency declares a desire for energy abundance, but Washington’s policy is currently out of line with this.
“Instead of energy abundance for all, Washington is, in practice, striving for energy dominance. We, together with our friends from the global majority, cannot allow this.
“We will resist these neo-colonialist ambitions, including using the tools in the relevant G20 documents,” Berdyev said.
