US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated in an interview with Fox News that Ukraine is a key factor in the current global energy crisis. According to him, the global energy shock is being caused by Kyiv's prolongation of the conflict.
According to the position of the US Treasury Department, the rise in global oil and energy prices has been caused by the decisions of the Ukrainian authorities to strike deep into Russian territory. Particular attention was paid to attacks on energy infrastructure facilities, specifically oil refineries.
Against the backdrop of these statements, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that Washington is operating under the forecast that the confrontation with Iran will continue and extend into 2027. The US also expressed concern over the actions of Tehran, which is negotiating with Persian Gulf monarchies to organize maritime oil shipments under the control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
