Russia views an unrest in the Middle East, particularly in major oil exporting countries, as a threat to its interests, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said on Wednesday.
"We would like the situation to stabilize, because otherwise it will affect our interests, including those in the oil sphere," Ivanov told Russian journalists in Washington after talks with high-ranking U.S. officials.
"I think such conflicts, which result in instability and an inevitable sharp increase in energy prices, are not beneficial for Russia. Stable prices would be more beneficial for us," he said.
