"Putin and Saudi Crown Prince discuss strained oil partnership"

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman discussed ensuring stability in the energy market and praised the cooperation within the OPEC+ deal. The talks come after the OPEC+ meeting, where Saudi Arabia expressed frustration with the lack of transparency about Russia's current oil production. The OPEC+ producers decided to keep the current cuts until the end of 2024, while Saudi Arabia said it would voluntarily reduce its production by 1 million bpd in July. Russia has said it would reduce its oil production by 500,000 bpd from March, but recent export data has not reflected any cuts.
