MOSCOW, March 5 (Reuters) - Russian Energy Minister
Alexander Novak told reporters in Moscow on Thursday that he
expects to be back in Vienna on Friday for talks with the OPEC
and other oil producers, a group known as OPEC+.
Novak declined to comment on Russia's position ahead of the
meeting. He was due to attend a regular cabinet meeting in
Moscow on Thursday.
Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members struggled on Wednesday
to win Russia's support for additional oil output cuts in a bid
to prop up oil prices, which have tumbled by a fifth this year
because of the impact of the coronavirus outbreak.
