Europe and the U.K. desperately need Moscow's energy as global supply tightens, Russian sovereign wealth fund chief Kirill Dmitriev warned this week. “Russia will certainly receive many requests from Europe and Britain … and will decide whether to give or not,” Dmitriev predicted at a meeting of Russia's union of industrialists and entrepreneurs, according to state-owned news agency RIA Novosti. “Our prediction is very clear: Europe and Britain will beg for Russian energy resources,” he added.
