The Kremlin Anchors OPEC+ After UAE's Historic Exit
Moscow Reaffirms Alliance with Saudi Arabia as UAE Pivots to "Total Independence" Following Middle East Naval Crisis
On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, the Kremlin officially confirmed that Russia will remain a core member of the OPEC+ alliance, acting as a strategic stabilizer just 24 hours after the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced its shock departure from the group. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that while Russia respects the UAE's "sovereign decision," Moscow believes the OPEC+ format remains essential for global energy stability.
By staying the course, Russia is signaling a deep alignment with Saudi Arabia, aiming to prevent a total collapse of coordinated production in a market currently rattled by $107 oil and the ongoing conflict in the Persian Gulf.
