Fuel prices consumers pay at the pump will be driven by a willingness to keep investing in fossil fuels, the UAE's energy minister said on Monday, as oil industry leaders reiterated the need for ongoing investment to smooth the energy transition. Speaking at the ADIPEC energy industry event in Abu Dhabi, Minister Suhail al-Mazrouei said the OPEC+ producer group cares «that the price is right for consumers, but right for the consumers for a very limited time only is short-sighted». More investment is needed in oil and gas for prices to be «right at the pump», he added. When asked whether high crude prices could threaten the health of the global economy, al-Mazrouei said OPEC+ never targets a certain oil price. The group, which comprises the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies led by Russia, in June agreed to extend their oil output cuts until the end of 2024. Saudi Arabia and Russia have also extended 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd) of additional voluntary cuts until the end of the year. That helped push Brent crude prices to above $90 a barrel in early September, with the futures contract last week approaching the psychological threshold of $100 a barrel.

military instructors to Ukraine, rowing back from reported comments by his defence minister that he wanted to begin training Ukrainian troops in the country. To date, Britain and its allies have avoided a formal military presence in Ukraine to reduce the risk of a direct conflict with Russia. British defence minister Grant Shapps, who was appointed to the role last month, said in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph newspaper that he wanted to deploy military instructors to Ukraine, in addition to training Ukrainian armed forces in Britain or other Western countries. Hours after that interview was published, Sunak said there were no immediate plans to send British troops to Ukraine. «What the defence secretary was saying was that it might well be possible one day in the future for us to do some of that training in Ukraine,» Sunak told reporters at the start of the governing Conservative Party's annual conference in Manchester. «But that's something for the long term, not the here and now. There are no British soldiers that will be sent to fight in the current conflict.» Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Sunday said any British soldiers training Ukrainian troops in Ukraine would be legitimate targets for Russian forces Britain has provided five-week military training courses to around 20,000 Ukrainians over the past year, and intends to train a similar number going forward.
