The European Union agreed to set the maximum price for Russian oil at $60 per barrel. This applies to oil transported by sea.

This was reported by the Permanent Representative of Poland to the EU Andrzej Sados and several European diplomats, writes The New York Times.

The agreement stipulates that the price of Russian oil will be reviewed every two months so that it is 5% lower than the market price. This step is coordinated by the EU with the "Big Seven" countries, which initiated the price restriction. The G7 is expected to issue an official statement by the end of this week.
