Russia will not cut crude output, minister says

摘要

Russia has no plans to reduce crude production, energy min- ister Nikolai Shulginov says, although his view is at odds with other government ofcials. “Crude is our commodity and we will trade it as long as we have it,” Shulginov says in a 26 June interview with the gov- ernment’s ofcial journal, Rossiyskaya Gazeta. “We are taking steps even now to stimulate a production rise.”
