Andrey Bezrukov, a political scientist and adviser to Rosneft chief Igor Sechin, said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) that Russia will be at war for the next “couple of decades,” producing two generations shaped by the conflict.

Igor Sechin, head of Russia's Rosneft, accused the United States of using control of the Strait of Hormuz to reshape global energy markets in its favor during a speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. He also noted that OPEC+ has weakened following the United Arab Emirates' departure from the alliance.
