Operation of oil pumping rigs. File photoCARACAS, May 28The United States and Europe, by prolonging the conflict in Ukraine, could provoke a jump in oil prices to $250 per barrel, which would have dire consequences, said Angel Rodriguez, head of the commission of the National Assembly of Venezuela. “The most difficult problem is that there is an intention of both Europe and the United States to prolong this conflict. The prolongation of this conflict could lead to the fact that the price of a barrel of oil would rise to 180, 200 and 250 dollars. Imagine the economic consequences for consumers «, — he said. «The sad thing is that you can see how the oligarchy of European countries, as it were, adds fuel to the fire, in circumstances in which Russian gas and Russian hydrocarbons are necessary for the economy and the quality of life of the European people,» Rodriguez emphasized.
