MOSCOW - Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said on Tuesday that the conflict in the Middle East had opened up new opportunities for Russia, and that Moscow had the potential to swiftly increase global exports of energy, resources and food.
At the same time, protecting the domestic market remains Russia's main priority, Mishustin said, adding that Russia's budget revenues are increasing due to the rise in global oil prices.
