“I think that if the EU countries agree on this, then the price of oil will automatically rise, and they will buy even more expensive oil from America.

The EU countries will only lose,” the parliamentarian believes.

He noted that Russia managed to arrange supplies, and the rise in prices is beneficial for it.

“EU countries need to understand that this is a trap for them.

And for some reason, some run into this trap, ”concluded Ananskikh.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the idea of ​​a number of Western countries to impose a price limit on Russian energy resources, mainly oil, is not a ceiling, but a bottom.

On November 29, Reuters, citing diplomats, reported that the EU countries could not agree on the level of the price limit for oil from Russia.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that the introduction of a ceiling on oil prices could lead to a shortage of energy resources.
