MOSCOW: Russia’s budget will receive an extra sum of about 200 billion rubles ($2.667 billion) thanks to a rise in oil prices, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said.

"We expect them [additional proceeds]. But I should point out straight away that the levels of revenue received and shortfalls over the last two months have been the same. <...> We are talking about a sum of approximately 200 billion rubles," he said in an interview with Vesti journalist Pavel Zarubin.
