Senator Pushkov called the decision on the price ceiling for gas from the Russian Federation one of the “impossibility” of the EU

Senator Alexei Pushkov commented on media reports that the EU has proposed to make adjustments in the gas market, as it cannot set a price limit for gas from Russia. According to him, the EU is faced with a number of “impossibility”.

“I think these two — the impossibility of setting a ceiling on gas prices and the impossibility of allocating 3 billion euros to Ukraine — are not the last ‘impossibility’,” Mr. Pushkov wrote in his Telegram.

According to Reuters, The European Commission (EC) on November 8 announced that it could not set a price ceiling for Russian gas, which was previously requested by EU leaders. According to the EC, the price cap will not affect long-term contracts or security of supply. November 8 at the European Commission also reportedthat they will not be able to allocate to Ukraine a third of the €9 billion promised by the EC in May.
