US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, after meeting Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov at a G20 finance ministers' gathering in North Carolina — Siluanov's first invitation since the war began — said Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure are among the causes of a global 'energy shock.' The comments underscore how Ukraine's deep strikes on Russian energy assets are reverberating into international economic diplomacy. President Zelensky separately confirmed Ukrainian forces struck oil facilities in Russia's Ryazan, Perm and Tatarstan regions, a drone production site in Kursk Oblast, and an unspecified asset in the Black Sea, detailing the scope of the campaign Bessent referenced.
