“To pull China and India to their policy of“ ceiling ”for the price of Russian oil is the super-task of the US administration.
It is unlikely, however, that she will succeed, ”he wrote on Telegram.
Pushkov noted that the possibility of China imposing a price ceiling on Russian oil "looks incredible."
“Yes, and India is an unlikely candidate for participation in such a coalition, both for political (good relations with Moscow) and economic reasons (need for Russian oil),” he concluded.
On September 2, the finance ministers of the G7 countries agreed to impose a ceiling on the price of oil from Russia.
In particular, the G7 will ban ship insurance for carriers of Russian oil at prices exceeding the established threshold.
U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said in an interview with Bloomberg that India is open to a proposal to set a ceiling on Russian oil prices and is sending “encouraging” signals on this initiative.
As noted in the Kremlin, if Russian oil does not flow to Europe, then it will go in alternative directions to those countries that operate on market conditions.
