Moscow, Riyadh working to balance interests of oil suppliers, consumers — Putin
At the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, President Vladimir Putin said Russia and Saudi Arabia are cooperating to balance oil market interests, while Russia builds hydrocarbon competencies and seeks stability via OPEC+.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 5. Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) that Russia and Saudi Arabia are working to balance the interests of both oil suppliers and consumers. "We, together with Saudi Arabia, our friends, the Crown Prince, are working to balance the interests of both suppliers and consumers. So far, we’ve been successful," he said.
Coverage Comparison
Putin's remarks, carried by TASS, covered three main themes: Russia's growing hydrocarbon competencies, cooperation with Saudi Arabia, and the need for a stable global oil market. All statements came from the Russian leader's appearance at the SPIEF plenary session.
Key Claims
Russia is building up its competencies in the hydrocarbon energy sector and developing technologies, according to Putin. "As regards the hydrocarbon energy segment, we have our own competencies growing there," he said.
Russia previously cooperated with foreign companies in this sphere, primarily with US partners, the president noted. "Now we are increasing our competence in these areas," he added.
Putin said Russia wants to see a stable global oil market. He estimated that oil supplies to global markets have decreased by 10%, noting this is "roiling the global economy and international energy markets." He stated Russia is not interested in this outcome.
The Russian leader expressed interest in further cooperation within the OPEC+ alliance to stabilize the market and reduce volatility. "This is our priority. We will continue to move in this direction," he concluded.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
