thebalanced.newsRussia to Stay in OPEC Amid UAE's Departure, Emphasizes Market Stability
Russia has affirmed its intention to remain in OPEC despite the United Arab Emirates' decision to leave the group. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized OPEC's role in stabilizing global energy markets amid current turmoil and expressed hope that energy cooperation with the UAE would continue. Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov noted that uncoordinated production following the UAE's exit could lower oil prices, though current prices remain supported by the Strait of Hormuz blockade.
