Kanishchev said this in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Earlier, the newspaper Newsweek wrote that the adviser to the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky on economic issues Oleg Ustenko took the initiative to reduce the ceiling on oil prices from Russia to $ 10 - $ 20 per barrel at the current $ 60.

"The desire of representatives of countries that are not included not only in the G7, but also in the G20, to speculate on this topic, illustrates their inability to read documents in English," the agency's interlocutor emphasized.

Earlier, Bloomberg, citing informed sources, reported that Poland, Estonia and Lithuania called for lowering the ceiling on Russian oil prices from the current $ 60 per barrel to $ 51.45.

It is noted that countries talk about the need to set a limit at a level below market prices by 5%.
