In terms of crude oil, it is difficult for Russia and Ukraine to reach a satisfactory result in the negotiations. In the short term, the tension between Russia and Ukraine remains the same. European and American countries impose sanctions on Russia and worry about the risk of supply interruption push up oil prices. A multinational agreement to release strategic crude oil reserves also failed to curb the rise in oil prices.
