Russian President Vladimir Putin said situation with energy resources may become stable by winter.
Slump in oil prices after the decision by Opec to leave oil production quotas unchanged was not a surprise, Putin said during his meeting with the leadership of Total, a French oil company.
“I think this was not unexpected either for us, or for you,” he said.
Putin added that Russia participated in the meeting of Opec, and it was clear that the prices will react as soon as the decision is announced
