What did US urge Russia to do? [br] [originaltext] U.S. officials are callin

U.S. officials are calling on Russia to implement reforms aimed at promoting foreign investment in its energy sector. The officials testified before a Senate panel Tuesday. Amid rising oil prices and expectations that global energy demands will increase in the coming years, a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee considered prospects for increasing oil and natural gas exports from Eurasia.
    "The United States may not become a primary, direct consumer of the oil and natural gas exports from Eurasia. But developing these reserves and bringing them to the world markets is a strategic, geopolitical, economic and energy interest for the United States," said Senator Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican, who chaired the hearing.
    Much of the focus of the hearing was on Russia, the world’s second largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia, and the biggest source of gas reserves.
