Rising crude oil prices and the major economic powers.  The war in Ukraine, Western sanctions on Russia, and delays in resuming the Iran nuclear deal have shaken world markets.

The recent rise in crude oil prices and the prospect of further increases in the absence of a positive change in the situation have also put the major economic powers in a precarious position.

In this context, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia yesterday to persuade them to increase oil production. Western nations want to gradually reduce their dependence on Russian crude.

Last week, US President Joe Biden tried to speak to Saudi and Emirati leaders by phone, but their calls were not answered.

Relations between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the West have soured since the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and Saudi Arabia is angry with the United States over Iran's ongoing nuclear talks with world powers.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed of the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi, after which he arrived in the capital Riyadh to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

If oil production from these two key members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) increases, crude oil prices could fall in world markets. Last week, the price of crude oil in the world market reached close to 140 per barrel.

Russia is a major supplier of gas to European countries, and gas prices have risen sharply since the Ukraine war. European countries that were already suffering from inflation due to the Corona epidemic are sinking into the mire of further inflation due to the Ukraine war.

Although global crude oil prices have fallen to about 100 a barrel, the main reason is the lockdown to control the Corona epidemic in China.

Speaking to reporters in Abu Dhabi, Boris Johnson said Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision on the Ukraine war had left the world in a state of uncertainty and rising oil prices. Now Western nations want to end their dependence on Russian gas and oil.

However, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have remained silent on increasing oil production, as they are currently benefiting from higher crude oil prices.

At the onset of the Corona epidemic in 2020, crude oil prices fell to 42 42 a barrel. Russia and Saudi Arabia have since agreed to gradually increase production under the OPEC Plus agreement to stabilize oil prices.

Now an increase in crude oil production by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates would mean turning away from an agreement with Russia that they certainly do not want.

Woman fined for protesting on Russian TV

Russia's state television has fined a woman protesting the war. A Russian journalist has been fined for disrupting live TV broadcasts during a protest rally. He says he was interrogated for more than 14 hours.

On Monday, Marina Osankova chanted "Stop the war" behind a news anchor. He picked up a note that read, "Don't believe the propaganda, you are being lied to here."

He was arrested and interrogated for more than 14 hours. She appeared in court on Tuesday and was found guilty. He was fined 30,000 rubles or about 280 pounds.

He told reporters that he had not slept for two days and called it one of the most difficult moments of his life. He said he was not allowed to contact relatives or friends and was not given access to legal aid.

 He affirmed that his admission had been gotten through torment and that his admission had been acquired through torment. I made this decision myself because I do not want Russia to start a war. It was a tragedy. "

Osankova's father is Ukrainian and her mother is Russian. He is the editor of state TV and has said he regrets promoting Russian propaganda.

Its support is spreading across Russia on social media. "As far as this woman is concerned, this is an act of mischief," Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a statement on Wednesday. He said it did not affect the health of the Russian government.
