The prospects of the solution were assessed by Deputy Head of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.
The finance ministries of the G7 member countries, namely Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Canada, France, Japan and the USA, decided to impose restrictions on the prices of Russian gas supplied to Europe and other countries.
According to Sky News, with reference to a statement published by the UK government, the Finance Ministers called for a coalition to appear that will support price restrictions on the Russian product.
The G7 document states that such a political intention is supported by all participants and it consists in a comprehensive ban on services for the sea transportation of crude oil and petroleum products of Russian origin around the world.
The condition for allowing such services is the purchase at a price below the ceiling determined by a coalition of countries that accept and implement this ceiling.
Judging by the verdict of the G7 countries, the aim of the measure is to reduce Russian revenues and the ability of the Russian Federation to “finance its aggressive war.”
As for the scheme for setting the ceiling, but the initial limit will be formed on the basis of a number of technical data and agreed upon by the entire coalition.
The second G7 measure was an appeal to oil-producing countries to increase production, thereby reducing market volatility.
It is known that the measures are supposed to be introduced as early as February 5, 2023. And on September 1, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak said that Russia refuses to supply oil to participants in setting the ceiling of prices.
Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev in his TG channel assessed the prospects of Russian gas supplies to the European Union, if the EU decides to introduce restrictive measures, a ceiling on fuel prices.
The politician believes that in this case, Russian gas will simply disappear from the EU. According to him, “auntie von der Leyen” said that it was time to introduce measures for pipeline Russian gas.
“It will be like with oil. There will simply be no Russian gas in Europe, the deputy head of the Security Council said.
