The EU price restriction of USD60 per barrel for Russian oil shipped by sea was welcomed by the White House on Friday.

According to John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, “a price restriction will help limit Mr. (Vladimir) Putin’s capacity to profit off the oil market so he can keep funding a war machine that continues to slaughter innocent Ukrainians.”

Therefore, he continued, “we appreciate the progress that our EU allies are making on this, and I look forward to seeing whatever the final statement is.”

The price cap agreement, which would reduce Russia’s income from oil sales and exports, was reached after many days of difficult negotiations by EU officials.

When questioned about (US President Joe) Biden’s remarks on Thursday in which he stated that he was willing to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin about resolving the war in Ukraine, Kirby claimed that Biden was not implying that “now” is the appropriate time for negotiations.

Kirby stated at the virtual press conference that “Mr. Putin has offered no sign that he is willing to sit down and speak and to terminate this war.”

The President frequently repeats the same thing, but I believe it is still worth repeating. That the conflict might end right now,” he continued.

During a press conference with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, Biden made the following comments: “I’m ready to talk to the Russian president, but I also want to emphasize that the Russian leader has not yet demonstrated a willingness.”

In response, the Kremlin stated that although Putin is still open to talking, Russia is not prepared for conversations with the US under the condition of “removal from Ukraine.”
