Topic of freezing oil prices is irrelevant, Russia's permanent representative to OPEC says

In connection with the fact that the oil prices reached the level of $50 per barrel, the topic of freezing oil prices is no longer relevant, and therefore the discussion of it at the forthcoming meeting of OPEC countries on June 2nd is unlikely, Russia's permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna Vladimir Voronkov stated.

"I think the continuation of discussion of this topic is completely irrelevant due to the natural growth of prices and the fact that Brent oil reached the level of $50 per barrel," he said.
