“Russia can sell at or below the price cap and keep its oil flowing to global markets at lower prices for importers with the benefits of first-class G7 services.
Or Russia can rely on service providers outside the G7, whose scale is limited, more expensive and less reliable, ”RIA Novosti quotes the text of the document.
The US Treasury stressed that it is in Russia's interests to keep sales at the same level.
The Financial Times reported earlier that the EU countries had reached an agreement on a price ceiling for Russian oil at $60.
The ambassadors of the EU countries officially confirmed the decision to introduce a ceiling on oil prices from Russia.
US State Department Chief Economist Emily Blanchard admitted the possibility of adjusting the established marginal price for Russian oil if the set goals are not achieved.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak noted that Russia has a tough position on the oil price limit - it is unacceptable, regardless of the level.
Also, the Kremlin has repeatedly confirmed that Moscow will not trade oil, oil products and gas with countries that will introduce a price ceiling.
