MOSCOW, January 14. /TASS/. Russia and Venezuela will discuss energy prices and the current situation on crude oil markets during negotiations on Thursday, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said after a meeting with European Commission’s Vice-President Maros Sefcovic.

“Of course, today’s situation with prices and crude oil markets is being discussed one way or another at all levels. And tomorrow I think it will be one of the key points for discussion during Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro visit,” the minister said.

“Many countries, almost all countries agree that any artificial action to change the situation on the market is impossible,” Novak said.
