“The states of the European Union failed to agree on Monday on the marginal prices for Russian oil,” the material says.
It is noted that the agreement did not work out, as Poland insisted that price ceilings should be set lower than those proposed by the G7 in order to "reduce Moscow's ability" to finance the conflict in Ukraine.
Earlier, Bloomberg reported that the EU countries are discussing the possibility of setting a price ceiling for Russian oil at $62 per barrel.
John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the National Security Council (NSC) of the US White House, said that the US government considers the process of negotiations by the West to set cap prices for Russia's oil a success.
