Brent crude oil prices extended gains as the conflict in Ukraine escalated, fanning fears of lower supply from the top oil exporter. Western countries have also slapped fresh sanctions on Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine, and Russian President Vladimir Putin responded by putting his country’s nuclear deterrent on a high alert.
Brent futures rose nearly 5 per cent on Wednesday to top $110 a barrel-mark, their highest since 2014, as a global agreement to release crude reserves also failed to calm fears about supply disruptions from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, media reported.
