The International Energy Agency said it’s monitoring Russia’s statements on Ukraine “with growing concern” and is consulting with member countries and key partners on measures to ensure energy security.
While the impact of developments in Ukraine on world oil markets isn’t yet known, IEA member countries “stand ready to act collectively to ensure that global oil markets are adequately supplied,” the Paris-based organization said Tuesday in a statement. The roughly 250,000 barrels a day of Russian oil exports through Ukraine to supply Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic are at the most immediate risk, IEA said.
