Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Will a Russian oil price cap end the invasion of Ukraine? | Inside Story” – below is their description.
After months of negotiations, Western nations and their allies have agreed to cap the price of seaborne Russian oil at $60 a barrel.
They hope it will reduce Moscow’s ability to fund its war in Ukraine.
A spokesman says Russia won’t accept the move, while Ukraine’s president wants the price to be lowered to $30 a barrel.
So what will the cap achieve?
