Russia is ready to “swallow” big discounts on oil, said the White House
Washington assumes that Russia is set to supply oil to the world market and is ready to “swallow” even greater discounts than drugs now, said White House spokesman Karine Jean-Pierre.
Earlier, the finance ministers of the G7 countries confirmed their intention to impose price restrictions on oil from Russia as part of the decision against the Russian Federation.
“Russia is already offering big discounts, up to 30%, and long-term contracts for European countries. It is also the wealth that Russia intends to provide for its oil and is willing to swallow big discounts.” – said the press secretary of the White House at a briefing, commenting on the plans of the “seven”.
According to Jean-Pierre, the price caps provide an opportunity for “more countries to seek more favorable terms of agreement with Russia.”
Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak in response, he warned that the countries supported the G7 plan to limit the prices of Russian commodities, dumping without Russian oil exports.
“We will not supply them with oil and oil products, since we will not work on non-market conditions. And this is primarily paid for by European, American consumers, who are already paying high prices today due to the technical destabilizing factors that they accept. In particular, sanctions restrictions, – explained the deputy chairman of the Russian government.
Managing Director of the rating service “National Rating Agency” (NRA) Sergei Grishunin added that the decline in oil prices is associated with a high probability of a decrease in its deficit in Europe and a decrease in its cost for consumers, taking into account the cost of consumption.
