Putin says global economy can't function without Russian oil

SOCHI, Russia, Oct 2 (Reuters) – President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that the global economy would suffer without Russian oil, warning that prices would jump to over $100 per barrel if its supplies were cut off. U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Europe, India and China to stop buying Russian oil in order to reduce Moscow's ability to fund its war in Ukraine.
