"The fact that the United States tends to take control of the international energy infrastructure is obvious," Peskov said, answering a question about the Kremlin's position regarding the desire of the United States to solely manage the gas pipeline.Earlier this week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with France TV that the United States was talking about its desire to take over Russia's Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. Broad opportunities for cooperation between Russia and the United States remain on the agenda, but Washington is indexing solutions to the situation around Ukraine, Dmitry Peskov said.Last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia and the United States could consider working together to produce aluminum in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and extract rare earth metals in Donbass.The topic of economic projects with the US, including the extraction of rare earth metals in Donbass, was not discussed at Putin's private meeting with businesses, the official said."We believe that this is wrong, that our interests are suffering. And not only our interests, but also the interests of American companies. Because we are wasting time, and American companies, just like our companies, are missing out on the profits they could already be making. But the topic remains. This topic is eternal, we have many opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation," Peskov said.Russia remains a reliable guarantor of energy security around the world, Dmitry Peskov said.Russia also remains a reliable energy transit country, Peskov added.Kiev continues to engage in energy blackmail, which affects the interests of companies from Russia, the United States and Kazakhstan, Dmitry Peskov said."In fact, Kiev is engaged in energy blackmail and continues to be engaged in it, which affects the interests of our company, American companies, and Kazakhstani companies," Peskov told reporters.Additionally, Kiev is not abandoning attempts to disable the CPC energy route, the official said.Dmitry Peskov denied reports that Russia was allegedly discussing limiting oil supplies through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) as a lever of pressure on the United States.The Kremlin does not have details of the alleged negotiations between the United States and Iran, Dmitry Peskov said."We do not know the details of those negotiations [between the United States and Iran], which, as it was reported, are underway," Peskov told reporters.If the cessation of hostilities between the United States and Iran is being discussed, then this can only be welcomed, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.

US Seeks Control Over Global Energy Infrastructure - Kremlin
09:48 GMT 27.03.2026 (Updated: 12:44 GMT 27.03.2026) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - It is obvious that the United States is seeking to take control of the international energy infrastructure, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
"The fact that the United States tends to take control of the international energy infrastructure is obvious," Peskov said, answering a question about the Kremlin's position regarding the desire of the United States to solely manage the gas pipeline.
Earlier this week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with France TV that the United States was talking about its desire to take over Russia's Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.
Broad opportunities for cooperation between Russia and the United States remain on the agenda, but Washington is indexing solutions to the
situation around Ukraine, Dmitry Peskov said.
Last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia and the United States could consider working together to produce aluminum in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and extract rare earth metals in Donbass.
"As for the wide opportunities for cooperation in the trade and economic sphere, yes, these opportunities are constantly on the agenda. Another thing is that the American side is still indexing the whole situation to a settlement around Ukraine," Peskov told reporters.
The topic of economic projects with the US, including the extraction of rare earth metals in Donbass, was not discussed at Putin's private meeting with businesses, the official said.
"We believe that this is wrong, that our interests are suffering. And not only our interests, but also the interests of American companies. Because we are wasting time, and American companies, just like our companies, are missing out on the profits they could already be making. But the topic remains. This topic is eternal, we have many opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation," Peskov said.
Russia remains a reliable guarantor of energy security around the world, Dmitry Peskov said.
"Russia remains a reliable guarantor and always fulfills its obligations. No one can ever blame the Russian side for anything on this matter," Peskov told reporters, commenting on the situation around energy flows.
Russia also remains a reliable energy transit country, Peskov added.
Kiev continues to engage in
energy blackmail, which affects the interests of companies from Russia, the United States and Kazakhstan, Dmitry Peskov said.
"In fact, Kiev is engaged in energy blackmail and continues to be engaged in it, which affects the interests of our company, American companies, and Kazakhstani companies," Peskov told reporters.
Additionally, Kiev is not abandoning attempts to disable the CPC energy route, the official said.
Dmitry Peskov denied reports that Russia was allegedly discussing limiting oil supplies through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) as a lever of pressure on the United States.
"The answer is very simple: this is not true," Peskov told reporters.
The Kremlin does not have details of the alleged
negotiations between the United States and Iran, Dmitry Peskov said.
"We do not know the details of those negotiations [between the United States and Iran], which, as it was reported, are underway," Peskov told reporters.
If the cessation of hostilities between the United States and Iran is being discussed, then this can only be welcomed, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
"We do not know the details of the negotiations [between the United States and Iran], which, as it was reported, are underway. But in any case, if we are talking about the approach of the cessation of hostilities, then this can only be welcomed," Peskov told reporters.
