Impeded contradictions: EU countries were unable to introduce the oil price limit

The EU still has a lot of details, in particular, what will be the marginal ceiling for Russian oil. The EU countries were unable to reach an agreement to limit Russian oil prices. Countries that depend strongly on Russian energy, reports Bloomberg. Countries such as Cyprus and Hungary opposed the sanctions. A number of countries want to get guarantees that their supply of black gold will remain intact after introducing a marginal price for energy from Russia.

Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic were asked for it. In addition, states that are engaged in the transportation of Russian oil may also require guarantees for their supply. There are also many details in the EU, in particular, what will be the marginal ceiling for Russian oil. Recall that the G7 countries have agreed from December 5 to impose restrictions on Russian oil prices. In Moscow, in response, they threatened to reduce energy supply to the countries that would support the event.

It was also reported that US officials are dissatisfied with the slow effect of sanctions on the Russian economy. The fact is that the US Presidential Administration has underestimated Russia's super -blank income from the sale of oil, India and even Saudi Arabia. In the first 100 days of a full -scale war in Ukraine, the aggressor earned a record 93 billion euros for oil, gas and coal exports.
