Russian president out with a statement while visiting Xi in Beijing 15 May

I'm guessing he wouldn't admit if they were but he obviously feels a need to fend off the accusations

  • no significant damage to Russia from ransomware attack

Again, I wouldn't expect him to say otherwise.

On other matters:

  • it is correct to extend oil output cut deal
  • will support this proposal
  • will ensure price stability

Still got to be approved at the 25 May meeting ofc.

Meanwhile WTI and Brent continue to feel the love at $49.12 and $52.13

" Do I turn it off to the right or left?"
