“Naturally, we do not recognize any ceiling ... We work in such a way that this system does not harm our own interests,” Peskov said.

He added that the price ceiling for Russian oil "has already been set quite freely" from the point of view of the G7 countries.

Earlier, the chairman of the board of directors of the American oil and gas corporation Chevron, Mike Wirth, said that the price limit for oil products from Russia set by Western countries created many difficulties for the energy markets.

Prior to this, China Daily wrote that the oil price ceiling had strengthened the Russian economy and had a negative impact on the economies of Western countries.
