Russian FM warns West against discussing energy security without Moscow

Russia’s foreign minister on Wednesday warned the West against discussing ways to reduce energy dependence on Russia, saying that would not help energy security.

“I don’t think that attempts to discuss energy security in any format without Russia could be productive and could promote energy security,” Sergey Lavrov told reporters. “Energy security is a subject that concerns everybody, and it should be discussed taking into account the interests of all key players.”
