Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman agreed on the importance of upholding their OPEC+ commitments and discussed moves to bring peace to Ukraine during a phone call, the Kremlin said late on Thursday.
The leaders of the two countries reaffirmed their commitment to fulfilling their obligations under the OPEC+ agreement, the Kremlin said in a statement published after the call.
Putin also thanked the crown prince for Saudi Arabia's mediation efforts when it came to hosting negotiations between Russian and U.S. diplomats in a meeting in February.
