Libyan authorities: the issue of the price ceiling for Russian oil was not discussed in OPEC +

This was stated to RIA Novosti by the Minister of Oil of the Government of National Unity, meeting in Tripoli, Mohammed Aoun.

“In fact, this issue was not discussed at previous meetings,” Aoun said.

At the same time, he did not rule out that this issue could be raised during the next meetings.

On Jan. 21, the US Treasury Department announced that Washington, along with Western allies, will assess whether the price ceiling for oil from Russia is consistent with current market conditions.

In December, the head of the Energy Development Fund, economic expert Sergei Pikin, in an interview with Nation News, spoke about the consequences of imposing a ceiling on Russian oil prices for the European Union.
