He also said that the amount of oil will be determined later, but it "will be sufficient to maintain a good supply of markets."

On September 14, in Saudi Arabia, drones attacked two refineries of the state-owned company Saudi Aramco, after which fires occurred at the plants.

The attack has already been condemned by a number of countries, in particular Great Britain, France, Germany and the USA.
