Politico learned about the EU's refusal to completely ban oil from Russia in the 21st package of sanctions

The countries of the European Union (EU) in the 21st package of sanctions against Russia, most likely, will not impose a complete ban on the supply of Russian oil and restrictions on maritime services related to its transportation. This was reported by the Politico newspaper on June 1, citing a source.

It is noted that the main focus will be on adjusting the current mechanism for limiting prices for Russian oil, while maintaining the current level of the price ceiling is considered as the main option.

The proposals for a complete ban on Russian oil and a ban on marine services do not yet have sufficient support and are likely not to be implemented, the media points out.

Bloomberg reported on May 31, citing sources, that EU countries are considering the possibility of temporarily lifting restrictions on Russian oil prices in connection with the conflict over Iran. The next revision of the price ceiling in July is expected to raise it to at least $65 per barrel, above the current level of $60.

On May 26, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced the development of the 21st package of EU sanctions against Russia. According to her, the new measures are designed to make Russian citizens feel the consequences of the conflict in their daily lives.
