Russia responds to "oil price limit"

White House press secretary Karina Jean-Pierre said on Aug. 31 that the G7 finance ministers would discuss U.S. President Joe Biden's proposal to cap the price of Russian oil when they met on Sept. 2.

In this regard, Russian presidential press secretary Peskov said on September 2 that if the price of Russian oil is limited, European taxpayers will suffer losses. A day earlier, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak had said Russia would not supply oil and petroleum products to countries that support price limits on Russian oil.

Peskov believes that the sanctions against Russia have led to a very big crisis in the European energy market, "in this case, Europeans buy LNG from the United States at crazy and unreasonable costs, resulting in American companies getting richer and richer, while European taxpayers are getting poorer." ”

On September 1, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak, who is in charge of energy work, said that Russia would not supply oil and petroleum products to countries that support price limits on Russian oil, and that Russia refused to supply oil to the outside world under non-market conditions.

Tass quoted Novak as saying that the G7's plan to limit the price of Russian oil is absolutely absurd, and trying to intervene in the market mechanism of such an important industry will not only lead to its instability, but also threaten the entire oil market, which may lead to a global energy security disaster.

Novak stressed that consumers in Europe and the United States will pay a price for this. They have paid a high price because of Western sanctions against Russia. Novak said the Russian oil industry is preparing for a possible oil embargo imposed on Russia by EU countries.

The Iranian Navy once again captured U.S. unmanned boats
