Oil prices fell early Tuesday on renewed concerns about global oversupply after OPEC+ agreed to a second consecutive monthly output hike, The Financial Times reported.
Brent crude dropped more than 4% to below $59, testing four-year lows hit last week. West Texas Intermediate crude fell to nearly $56.
Traders reacted to a Saturday decision by eight OPEC+ members, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, to raise oil output by 411,000 barrels per day in June. The move came despite falling prices driven by oversupply fears and economic weakness linked to Donald Trump’s trade war.
OPEC+ had already surprised markets last month by announcing a similar output increase—more than three times larger than expected. The combination of rising supply and concerns over the impact of U.S. tariffs on global demand sent Brent crude down nearly 20% in April, marking its biggest monthly drop in over three years.
Over the past three years, OPEC+ has reduced its collective output by nearly 6 million barrels per day to support prices—a strategy that initially kept oil above $90 a barrel for most of 2022. However, its effectiveness has faded amid weak demand, growing U.S. production, and poor quota compliance within the cartel.
Internal tensions have escalated, particularly with Kazakhstan, which has increased output at the Chevron-led Tengiz field and stated it would prioritize “national interests” over group quotas.
In response, Saudi Arabia has begun easing its own production cuts and is pushing for an increase this month.
The kingdom, which has slashed its output by 2 million barrels per day over the past three years, is increasingly frustrated with having borne the brunt of the cuts while others, including Kazakhstan and Iraq, consistently exceed their quotas.
According to sources familiar with the matter, Saudi officials are not opposed to restoring supplies—even if it results in a prolonged period of lower prices.

❗️Russians should know — we are counting on three million artillery shells this year, — President Zelenskyy on Putin’s statement about the “inevitable reconciliation” of Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
“This does not mean that anyone wants a long war, we want to end it. And all wars end.
What I am sure of is that the war will end, just as long dictatorial regimes always end, just as the life of any empire that is built on the principles of war, the principles of disrespect for people, for their rights, ends.”

A Russian hacking group attacked local government and presidential candidate websites on the day of Romania’s presidential election, the Romanian outlet G4Media reported.
The attack, carried out by the group known as DDOSIA/NoName057, targeted the website of Romania’s Constitutional Court, the main government portal, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the websites of four presidential candidates.
According to a list from the National Cybersecurity Directorate, the affected candidate websites included Crin Antonescu, who is backed by Romania’s ruling parties, and Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan, running as an independent.
The hackers claimed responsibility on their Telegram channel, naming the websites of the Interior and Justice Ministries among their targets, Romanian TV channel Digi24 reported. The attack used a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) method, which overwhelms a website with traffic to force it offline.
The cyberattack occurred as Romanians voted in the first round of a presidential rerun. The country’s highest court annulled the previous round last year following allegations of illegal campaigning by the winner, ultranationalist Călin Georgescu, and possible Russian interference.
According to declassified Romanian intelligence documents, more than 85,000 cyberattacks targeted Romania’s electoral IT system on and after last November’s vote.

The Czech Republic plans to create a Ukrainian-Czech F-16 school.
According to the president, representatives of Ukraine and the Czech Republic are discussing the next steps within the framework of the “aviation coalition”, namely the creation of a Ukrainian-Czech F-16 school.
“It is obvious that as of now, for security reasons, we cannot open such a base in Ukraine, Russian strikes continue daily. Therefore, we are working with partners so that such schools can open outside Ukraine, and it will happen,” Zelenskyy said.

The Kremlin reported that Chinese leader Xi Jinping will pay an official visit to Moscow on May 7–10.
“During the talks, the main issues of further development of comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation relations, as well as current issues on the international and regional agenda, will be discussed.
A number of bilateral intergovernmental and interdepartmental documents are planned to be signed,” the Kremlin press service said.
In addition, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico confirmed his visit to Moscow on May 9, calling Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s statement that Ukraine cannot ensure the security of world leaders during the “Victory Parade” “unacceptable threats.”
It is not yet clear whether Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who, like Fico, reported a sudden “deterioration in his health” the day before, will visit Moscow. As stated by the Minister of Finance of Serbia Siniša Mali, it is currently impossible to say for sure whether the Serbian leader will go to the parade to Putin.
“In a day, two, three, when he recovers, he will address the public. The only thing I can say, knowing him, given that he is a man of his word, he said that he would be there, I assume that he will fulfill his promise,” Mali said in an interview with the RTS television channel.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the heads of Kazakhstan, Belarus, Cuba, Venezuela and a number of other “friendly” countries to Russia have also been invited to the parade on May 9 in the Russian Federation.

UNITED24 Raises $1.4 Billion in Three Years of Global Support for Ukraine
UNITED24, Ukraine’s official fundraising platform, launched in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion, has collected more than 56 billion UAH (over $1.4 billion) since its inception on May 5, 2022. This makes it not only the country’s largest fundraising initiative but also a globally unique example of state-led crowdfunding at scale.
In a statement marking the milestone, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that the figure represents more than financial support—it stands as proof of global solidarity in the face of brutal and unprovoked aggression.
"This is not just a number but a testament to what can be achieved when millions stand together with a purpose. What unites us is not geography, language, or background. It’s your conviction that moves us forward, and helps us stand strong in the face of unprovoked aggression," Zelenskyy stated on his official X account.

Of course, we will also discuss diplomatic efforts and joint pressure on Russia for a lasting ceasefire and an end to the war," said the President.
Olena Zelenska will take part in the opening of the Healthcare Initiative for Ukraine conference—an important platform for strengthening international medical partnerships and saving the lives of our people. A new step has also been prepared in expanding the Coalition of Ukrainian Studies at Czech universities to increase support for Ukraine in all areas.
