Estonia, Lithuania and Poland have offered to lower the ceiling price of Russian oil from $60 to $51.45 per barrel. Bloomberg.
These countries require that the threshold be set at 5% below market prices.
As expected, on March 15, representatives of EU countries will begin to discuss the revision of the ceiling price for oil from Russia.
Previously, the U.S. Treasury Department held that 75% of Russia’s oil sells without the intermediary of Western services.
It was learned that New Delhi has no obligation to purchase Russian oil below the limit set by the G7, the European Union (EU) and Australia, as the country has not officially joined the border.
According to Reuters interlocutors, India has not signed any agreement with Western countries to participate in imposing a ceiling price on Russian oil. Last week, Bloomberg wrote that the Indian government refused to oppose Western sanctions against Moscow and plans to comply with the oil price ceiling agreed by the G7 countries, the EU and Australia.
