“Russian President Putin signed a decree recognising the independence of the two Eastern Ukrainian provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk.

“Additional oil from OPEC+ cannot be counted on either, at least for the time being. Following the lead of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Iraq has also rejected calls for a more pronounced expansion of oil production by OPEC+.
