The Kremlin on Tuesday, when asked about a Reuters report that Russia was postponing a plan to boost long-term fiscal reserves, said that the issues were being worked out and that they were being discussed at President Vladimir Putin's meetings on the economy.

Reuters' sources said on March 23 that the government would now postpone a plan to boost long-term fiscal reserves due to the oil price spike triggered by the Iran war.

"This is the prerogative of the government," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters when asked about the Reuters report. "These issues are discussed at meetings on economic issues with the participation of the head of state. These issues are currently being worked out."
