The price of Russian oil is now strictly limited to $XXXX per barrel approximately XX% below the average market price over the last three months. The sanctions package also includes a ban on transactions related to the Nord Stream X and X gas pipelines meaning that Russia's plans to "rescue" this infrastructure through the US are now futile. Russia's hopes of blocking the adoption of the new package with the help of Hungary and Slovakia also did not materialize." @Gerashchenko_en on X 2025-07-18 15:47:41 UTC 650.4K followers, 39.2K engagements
