EU begs US to strictly enforce G7 price cap on Russian oil

"It is very important to strictly enforce the G7 price gap and potentially move to the full maritime services ban to limit Russia's war revenues, because the opposite would be self-defeating," European Economic Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis told a news conference.

"It would reinforce Russia's capacity to wage war, undermining Ukraine, undermining our support for Ukraine, and also undermining the goals which the US and Israel are trying to reach in Iran, as we know that Russia is also supporting Iran's war effort," Dombrovskis said.
