According to her, the United States believes that the established maximum price of $60 per barrel is sufficient for Russia to continue exporting its oil to other states.
“As for Russia's response, we are not surprised by such a reaction and such statements.
Our task is to ensure the flow of Russian oil to the world market,” Jean-Pierre said to RIA Novosti.
The spokeswoman added that the price ceiling could be adjusted to further limit Moscow's fuel revenue.
On December 4, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that Moscow was developing mechanisms to ban the introduction of a ceiling on oil prices.
Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev advised European countries to stock up on "schnapps, cotton blankets and boilers" after the ban on the supply of Russian oil at a price above $60 per barrel.
