remains a key priority for ensuring both internal growth and international
cooperation. In the face of global challenges, we continue to implement
large-scale projects aimed at increasing the efficiency and environmental
sustainability of the industry, as well as strengthening technological
sovereignty. One of the key tasks is to ensure stability of supplies and
develop new markets, which contributes to maintaining economic stability and
energy security for Russia and its international partners. Russian Energy Week
serves as an important platform for discussing these issues in dialogue with
our foreign colleagues,” Deputy Prime
