After 284 days of

war in Ukraine,

the Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelenski, considers that the logical thing would have been to cap the price of a barrel of Russian oil for export by sea at 30 dollars and not 60 as the EU, the G -7 and Australia because "it is comfortable for the budget of the terrorist State (Russia)".

The measure

would not directly affect the community territory

because it coincides with the

entry into force, on Monday, of an embargo on crude imported from Russia

, except for the one bought by Hungary by pipeline.

Throughout this Saturday, the Ukrainian euphoria from the beginning for the damage that this cap on the barrel was going to cause to the Russian economy was waning.

"It should have gone down to $30 to destroy the Russian economy faster."

Zelenski's outcry was forceful.

"It is a pity the time we are losing" when, on the battlefield, the fierce resistance of the Ukrainian forces continues, trying to counterattack in some sectors of the

Ukrainian war front.

Russian troops are making little progress with their attacks in the eastern Donetsk region, and it is believed that Russia may be concentrating its efforts on

capturing Bakhmut

, an important communication hub north of

Donetsk

, in Donbas, which it would allow them to advance towards Kramatorsk and Slovianks.

From the Kremlin they say that perhaps Putin would visit the area "at the right time" because it is "a region of the Russian Federation."

Russia, which does not accept the cap on the price of its oil, stated that it will continue to look for buyers for its oil.

For now,

it will stop supplying oil to Europe this year.
