MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov on Thursday said that plans to introduce price caps on Russian oil will “collapse” and Russia will find ways to ensure revenues for its budget, Interfax news agency reported.
The cap scheme was first mooted last month by U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen as part of a campaign to increase pressure on Russia over what Moscow calls a “special military operation” in Ukraine.
The shape of the final deal and price level have yet to be announced.
