Russia will return to the idea of granting new tax breaks to oil firms as soon as the acute phase of the financial crisis is over, Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev said today.

"When we will see that the most acute phase of the crisis has passed, the issue of fiscal support of energy companies will return to the agenda," he said.
