European Gas Market Going Through Serious Transformation
The
European gas market is currently going through a serious transformation, its consequences have yet to be assessed, the Russian minister said.

increase in supplies to the east, the development of liquefied natural gas, the Russian deputy prime minister stated.

Main Task of OPEC+ to Balance Market, not to Determine Oil Price
Making forecasts for the price of oil is a thankless business, the market itself determines prices, and the main task of OPEC+ is to
balance supply and demand, the minister told the media.
"We usually do not say specific figures because it is a thankless activity. There is an understanding that our task is not to set specific figures, but a balance and a long-term understanding of how the market will develop," Novak said when asked about his forecast for oil prices by the end of this year.
"The market itself will determine the prices, and we hope that the main goal, which is the stable operation of the market, will be ensured also thanks to our joint actions," he added.
