Bloomberg learned about three options for restrictions on Russian oil

American and European officials are negotiating to limit oil imports from RUSSIA, as well as to reduce the country's income from the sale of energy resources, BLOOMBERG reports citing sources.

According to the interlocutors of the agency, three main options are being considered: the imposition of an embargo, the establishment of a cap price and the creation of a "payment mechanism to retain the proceeds" that Russia has received since the start of the military operation in Ukraine.

At the same time, according to the agency, the United States fears that the embargo on Russian oil by the EU will lead to a sharp rise in prices and an increase in Russia's income from supplies. it will be easier for countries to reach consensus on a limited oil ban than on an embargo on diesel and other products, according to one Bloomberg source.

FT reported no consensus in the EU on a ban on Russian oil Politics

Western countries, including the EU and the US, have already introduced several packages of sanctions against Russia because of the events in Ukraine. The restrictive measures affected the reserves and assets of the Central Bank, large Russian banks, the EXPORT of technological products, the supply of aircraft and spare parts for them, as well as access to European financial markets, etc.

Energy imports from Russia have already been banned in the United States. The European Union, within the framework of the fifth package of sanctions, refused to import coal from Russia, but gas and oil were not affected by the restrictions.

According to REUTERS sources, the Baltic countries, including Lithuania, are in favor of the oil embargo. At the same time, Germany warned against hasty decisions in this direction due to high energy prices in Europe. As noted by the agency, Germany more than other European countries depends on Russian gas and oil.

Russian President Vladimir Putin , against the backdrop of Western sanctions, instructed to speed up the reorientation of oil and gas exports. We are talking about the implementation of infrastructure projects: railway, pipeline, port, which, according to the president, "in the coming years will allow redirecting oil and gas supplies from the West to promising markets - to the south and east."
