Oil rocker. File photoMOSCOW, Sep 7 Senator Alexei Pushkov noted that the US authorities are unlikely to be able to pull China and India into their «ceiling» policy to limit the price of Russian oil. Earlier, US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said that India is open to the idea of limiting the price of Russian oil and is sending «encouraging» signals in this regard. «Pulling China and India towards their «ceiling» policy for the price of Russian oil is the US administration's super-task. It is unlikely, however, that it will succeed «, — Pushkov wrote in his Telegram channel. He noted that China's participation in this scheme together with the United States «to the detriment of Russia looks incredible.» The legislator also asked the question: “Why would Beijing strengthen the United States and the G7, which only say that they will oppose China and are preparing for a conflict with it?” Pushkov believes that India is “an unlikely candidate for participation in such a coalition, as political and economic reasons (need for Russian oil).» Russia warned that it would not supply oil to countries that would support the introduction of «such a ceiling,» he recalled.
