Zelenskiy says level of price cap on Russia oil isn’t serious
KYIV, Dec 3 (Reuters) – The $60 price cap on seaborne
Russian oil agreed by Group of Seven nations and Australia is
not serious and will do little to deter Russia from waging war
in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday.
The European Union is now set to approve the cap after the
G7 and Australia struck a deal on Friday. The measure aims to
reduce Russia’s income from selling oil, while preventing a
spike in global prices.
“You wouldn’t call it a serious decision to set such a limit
for Russian prices, which is quite comfortable for the budget of
a terrorist state,” Zelenskiy said in a video address.
“It’s only a matter of time before stronger tools will have
to be used anyway. It is a pity that this time will be lost.”
