Abstract

This research article examines the theoretical aspects of the formation of energy security as a component of the national security complex of a country. The study provides a general description of the energy block and financial resources, as well as their relationship with national security. The main directions of the influence of energy security on the national security of the Russian Federation are formed, including aspects of sustainable development and protection of economic interests. A comprehensive assessment of the impact of the energy component on the state of national security of the Russian Federation is carried out based on the analysis of statistical data, a retrospective analysis of the interaction of the subsystems of the national security system, and an integral assessment model supported by expert evaluation. The analysis covered data for 2017–2023 and demonstrated that the degree of dependence between the energy component and national security remains at a high to critical level (integral score range 2.4–3.0). The findings contribute a structured methodological framework for assessing the influence of the fuel and energy complex on national security and provide practical recommendations for mitigating excessive dependence and ensuring sustainable development. The results of the analysis can be used for the purpose of further regulation of the level of influence of the fuel and energy complex on the state of energy and national security of the Russian Federation, as well as overcoming their close relationship.
