The crude oil output cut deal reached by OPEC and non-OPEC producers (OPEC+) has already helped stabilize oil prices, Kremlin said in a statement on Thursday, as reported by Reuters.
The statement further revealed that Russian President Putin and his American counterpart Trump had a phone conversation on the matter and that they both welcomed the deal.
