The United Arab Emirates will maintain its alliance with Russia in OPEC+ despite economic sanctions and pressure from Japan and Western nations, said UAE Energy and Infrastructure Minister Suhail al-Mazrouei.

Russia is the leader of OPEC+, a group of 10 oil-exporting nations that are not part of the official OPEC but that work with the formal organization to manage global oil markets.
