The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the agreement between Russia and OPEC countries, in particular Saudi Arabia, on freezing oil production gives no reason to believe that Moscow and Riyadh reached an understanding on the Syrian situation.
According to him, "these are different matters". "In this case, we are talking about the global energy market, since Russia and Saudi Arabia are the leading oil producers in the world, that’s why it is natural that they are engaged in a dialogue on an issue that is related to their own interests. Both sides are naturally interested in such a dialogue," he said.
"These are not interdependent or interconnected things," RIA Novosti cited Peskov as saying.
