MOSCOW, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir
Putin held a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin
Salman on Monday to discuss cooperation within the OPEC+ group
of oil producing countries in order to maintain oil price
stability, the Kremlin said in a statement.
Ministers from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC) and allies led by Russia, known collectively as
OPEC+, are due to hold a virtual meeting on Wednesday.
Two OPEC+ delegates told Reuters on Monday that the panel
was likely to recommend keeping the group's current oil output
policy.
Russian oil production has so far shown resilience in the
face of Western sanctions imposed after Moscow sent troops into
Ukraine on Feb. 24 and price caps introduced by Western
countries in December.
