“At the start of next year, we could make a reduction of 500,000-700,000 barrels per day. For us, that’s around 5-7 percent,” Alexander Novak, who is in charge of Moscow’s energy policy, said according to Russian news agencies.
He stated that Russia will not supply oil to countries that impose a price ceiling, as part of the sanctions imposed on Moscow for its offensive in Ukraine.
