On October 6, the EU approved the eighth package of restrictions against Russia.

In particular, the restrictions include a price ceiling on the sea transportation of Russian oil to third countries and further restrictions on the sea transportation of crude oil and petroleum products to third countries.

At the same time, the head of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, Maxim Reshetnikov, at a meeting of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes, said that Russia would retain the role of a strategic supplier of energy resources even with the introduction of new sanctions.

As noted in the Kremlin, if Russian oil does not flow to Europe, then it will go in alternative directions to those countries that operate on market conditions.
