The European Commission has proposed a new package of sanctions against Russia, providing for the introduction of a ceiling on prices for Russian oil, the HEAD of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said on Twitter.

“Today, in this package, we present the legal framework for capping oil prices. Some developing countries still need supplies of Russian oil at low prices. The introduction of a price ceiling on Russian oil will help reduce Russia's revenues and maintain the stability of global energy markets,” she said.

In addition, the European Commission has proposed:

www. expand the list of citizens and companies against which personal sanctions are imposed; ban imports of Russian products worth €7 billion; expand the list of goods prohibited for delivery to Russia in the field of aircraft and electronic components, chemicals; prohibit EU citizens from entering the management bodies of Russian state-owned companies.

The new package of EU sanctions will be a response to the referendums on accession to Russia, held in the territories lost by Ukraine.

In one of the past packages, the EU has already introduced an oil embargo on offshore shipments of Russian oil, it will come into force in December. European countries coordinated this embargo for a month and a half. It was opposed by Hungary, which subsequently, having achieved special conditions for itself, lifted its veto.

All 27 EU countries have veto rights on foreign policy issues. But against the backdrop of Hungary's unwillingness to join anti-Russian sanctions, including new ones related to the energy sector of Russia, the EU began to discuss the possibility of moving to decision-making by a majority of votes.

Russia , in turn, considers the EU sanctions illegal and, according to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, will not supply oil and oil products to those countries that will introduce a ceiling on oil prices. “[This is] interference in the market mechanisms of such an important industry as the oil industry, which is the most important in terms of ensuring the energy security of the whole world. Such attempts will only lead to the destabilization of the oil industry, the oil market,” he said.
