MOSCOW, June 6 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on
Thursday Russia had differences with OPEC over what constituted
a fair price for oil, but that Moscow would take a joint
decision on output with OPEC colleagues at a policy meeting in
the coming weeks.
Putin said a price of $60-$65 a barrel suited Moscow, while
Saudi Arabia wanted a higher price.
He added that the decision by OPEC and its oil exporting
allies should take into account the decline in production in
Iran and Venezuela, and problems in Libya and Nigeria.
He declined to say what Russia would do with output in the
second half of this year.
