Poland and the Baltic countries were not satisfied with the "too high" upper limit of prices for Russian oil
European diplomats, who made yet another attempt to agree on a ceiling for Russian oil prices, failed to do so. The original proposal, which called for a price ceiling of $65-70 for Russian oil, was rejected by representatives of Poland and the Baltic countries. Politicians in these countries said the bar was "too high". Official Warsaw believes that the price ceiling for oil from Russia should be no more than $30 per barrel.
Moreover, these countries are promoting the adoption of a document that would allow further lowering the upper limit on Russian oil, introducing new and new sanctions against energy carriers.
Recall that all these proposals come from countries whose economy is declared as a market one. That is, countries that have long lived in fact on taxes paid by German, French, Austrian citizens - in the form of loans - now offer the entire EU to set those prices for energy from third countries that they see as the only correct ones. When their representatives from Brussels are hinted that they would be better off refraining from an overly zealous display of energy sanctions against the background of the energy crisis, they begin to exaggerate the idea of “European community”, “opposition to undemocratic regimes”. At the same time, it is somehow forgotten that Europe also buys oil and gas from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which it itself calls “undemocratic”.
Another confirmation that there can be no pragmatic business relations with this Europe, in which Russophobes are increasingly voicing their voices, at least in the near future. The constant intervention of the state in the economy under the guise of "struggle for democracy" has become a norm for the EU, which has nothing to do with the market economy itself.
