US oil price cap proposal will fail – Moscow
A Russian deputy prime minister says global crude prices depend on supply-demand balance
Setting a price cap on crude oil from certain countries will not work because oil prices are pegged to the balance of supply and demand across the world, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Novak said on Thursday.

“It is not clear where this figure came from, they can say whatever they want. The price should be formed by the market method based on the balance of supply and demand,” Novak said at Russian Energy Week, following the latest US proposal to set a $60-a-barrel price ceiling on crude from Russia.

The top official added that Moscow wouldn’t supply energy to nations that adopt trade policies contradicting the terms of existing oil and gas contracts.

“It was clearly stated that we will not supply oil to countries that will use the price ceiling. This is a bad precedent that could at any moment be extended to other suppliers, to all global trade,” Novak said.

Top EU diplomat calls most of the world ‘jungle’
Josep Borrell urged future diplomats to protect European “garden”
Addressing a group of students at the College of Europe in Bruges on Thursday, Borrell compared the European Union to a “garden” that has the best combination of “political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion” ever known to humankind – and needs to be protected from the outside “jungle.”

“The rest of the world… is not exactly a garden. Most of the rest of the world is a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden. The gardeners should take care of it, but they will not protect the garden by building walls,” Borrell said, insisting that Europeans have to be “much more engaged” with the rest of the world and put their “privilege” to good use.

"The gardeners have to go to the jungle… Otherwise, the rest of the world will invade us, by different ways and means."

“You are the first generation. You are the trailblazers of a process, and I hope that many others will come,” Borrel told the group of future diplomats. “Keep the garden, be good gardeners. But your duty will not be to take care of the garden itself but [of] the jungle outside.”

It's not the first time Borrell has compared the EU to a beautiful and tidy garden surrounded by a jungle. Back in March he told El Mundo that “if we don't want the jungle to eat our garden, we have to wake up.”

Latest episode of West's booming economy


Gazprom Neft Will Not Cut Oil Production Over OPEC+ Decision - CEO
Gazprom Neft, the oil producing subsidiary of Gazprom, will not cut oil production because of the decision of the alliance of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and non-cartel producers (OPEC+) to decrease oil production, Alexander Dyukov, the chair of the management board of Gazprom Neft, said on Thursday.
OPEC+ alliance agreed last week to cut oil production by 2 million barrels per day from November and will take production levels agreed for August as a reference point. The move was made in response to uncertainty in global oil market outlooks, partly caused by Western sanctions on Russian energy deliveries and the G7 plans to introduce a price cap on Russian crude. 
The decision received backlash from the US, which demanded an increase in production to combat rising domestic prices.
"As for our company, we produce [oil] according to the quota, not above the quota. We will not be required to cut production volumes," Dyukov said in a televised appearance on the Rossiya 24 broadcaster.

Medvedev dismisses EU foreign policy chief’s nuclear strike remark as ‘paranoia’

The West will not "fully harness" for Ukraine, said the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council
Recent remarks made by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell indicate that the Western countries are not ready to offer all-out support for Ukraine, taking the world to the brink of a nuclear apocalypse, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said.

By the way, I wrote recently that the Western states don’t care a lot about Ukraine and its Bandera regime. They don’t want to offer them all-out support. Moreover, overseas and European rabble-rousers are definitely not going to die for them in a nuclear apocalypse. That is why their response will be careful and balanced. And this is the second meaning of Borrell’s remark," Medvedev added.

Thank you Seun and other impartial mods.
A few weeks ago, this forum was heavily biased against Russia and leaned towards the West.
Now, there are improvements and Nairalanders can get a balanced view.

Zelensky should be replaced already (for the benefit of Ukrainians).

The west are clever enough to know that Putin isn't the problem. The next president of Russia would do worse. And the west will cease to exist if anything were to happen to him, including their leaders, they know this.

Russia is an ancient power and will never bow to anyone.

Saudis Bluntly Rejected US Request to Delay OPEC+ Oil Cut Decision by 30 Days
Saudi Arabian officials bluntly refused to comply with White House requests that the Riyadh-controlled oil producing alliance OPEC+ withhold for a month the production cuts it announced last week, the Wall Street Journal reported.
According to those familiar with the request, US officials had warned Saudi leaders that a cut would be viewed as a clear choice by Riyadh to side with Russia in the Ukraine war and that the move would weaken already-waning support in Washington for the kingdom, the report said.
Beyond the refusal, the kingdom actually leaned on its OPEC allies, which include Russia, to approve the cut, which was announced on October 5 and aimed at reducing production by 2 million barrels per day.
