“Today, together with our partners in the G7, we have approved further price ceilings for Russian oil products transported by sea, such as diesel and heating oil,” TASS quoted the press service of the European Commission as saying.

It is noted that the transition period of 55 days will begin on February 5.

Earlier it was reported that on February 1, the decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin on retaliatory measures to the ceiling on oil prices from Russia from the G7 and the European Union came into force.

The head of state has banned the supply of oil and oil products from Russia to those who prescribe the maximum price for Russian energy resources in contracts.
