The report also says that negotiations on this subject within the EU have stalled due to the position of Poland and the Baltic countries, which consider the proposed price cap too high.

According to the agency, it is not yet clear how soon EU diplomats will be able to reach an agreement on this issue.

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, said that Russia would proceed from the statement of President Vladimir Putin that Moscow would not trade oil, oil products and gas with countries that would introduce a price ceiling.
