This is reported by the Financial Times, citing sources in the European Union.
It is specified that at least ten states are calling for the introduction of price restrictions for all gas suppliers, and not just for Russia.
At the same time, the governments of the EU countries fear that the introduction of a price ceiling only for Russian gas "could anger Moscow."
“Honestly, Russia is likely to retaliate,” Nikos Tzafos, chief energy adviser to Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, told the publication.
Earlier, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Croo said that the price ceiling in the European Union should be introduced for all gas, not just Russian.
On September 7, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced that the EC will officially propose to the EU Council to introduce a price ceiling for Russian gas.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called the idea of Western countries to limit the price of gas from Russia stupid.
