Kremlin vows to continue offensive despite crude cap
Russia has assured that the cap on the price of its oil will not slow down its offensive.
The limitation of the selling price of Russian oil, a new sanction of Western countries to come into force on Monday, aims to dry up part of the colossal income that Moscow derives from the export of its hydrocarbons and thus reduce its ability to finance his military effort.
But there are doubts about the short-term effects of this measure, which caps the price of a Russian barrel at 60 dollars, which is currently worth around 65 dollars.
kyiv considers this limit insufficient.
