8 million barrels per day starting from January 1.
"We all understand that the gaze of the whole world is directed towards us today. This responsibility is already painfully familiar to us, and I am more than sure that we will make an informed, balanced decision regarding the parameters of our cooperation," Novak said.
2020 has proved to be a big challenge to the energy industry and OPEC+ is able to alleviate the crisis by making a right decision, the deputy prime minister stressed.
