Russian President Vladimir Putin.Alexei Nikolskyi/RIA Novosti/Kremlin Russia is considering slashing its oil production in response to the Western price cap, Vladimir Putin said on Friday. The Russian president also said Moscow wouldn't be financially affected by the price cap, calling the mechanism "stupid." If Russia cuts output, it could spur volatility and send crude prices higher, experts have warned. Russia will consider slashing its oil output in retaliation to the G7 and European Union's price cap, according to President Vladimir Putin."We will think, maybe even about the possible, if necessary … reduction in production," he said at a press event on Friday.
