Russia reacted to the proposal of the European Union (EU) and other Western countries to impose a ceiling price on Russian oil.
Spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova stated that such a possibility could cause great harm to the global energy market and that the flow of oil from Russia to the Western countries that implement this decision will be cut off.
Spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zakharova said, "The ceiling price of Russian oil is not only a market measure, but also an anti-market measure. This disrupts the supply chain and significantly complicates the situation in the global energy market. We have repeatedly said that this is not a mechanism, but an anti-market measure. "
