Ammon News - Oil prices were little changed on Tuesday following a gain of more than 2% in the previous session after Russia accused Ukraine of attacking President Vladimir Putin's residence and investors sought clarity on Ukraine peace talks to gauge potential supply disruptions.

Brent crude futures for February delivery , which expires on Tuesday, were down 2 cents at $61.92 a barrel as of 0314 GMT. The more active March contract was at $61.44, down 5 cents.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude eased 5 cents at $58.03.

The Brent and WTI benchmarks settled more than 2% higher in the previous session after Moscow accused Kyiv of targeting President Vladimir Putin's residence, stoking fears of supply disruptions.

Kyiv has dismissed Moscow's accusation as baseless and designed to undermine peace negotiations. After a phone call with Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump said he was angered by details of the alleged attack.
