Macron has said he wants "security guarantees" for Russia when it returns to talks
French President Emmanuel Macron believes that Russia should have its own "security guarantees" when it returns to the negotiating table. However, decisions on the terms of the negotiations should be made by Ukraine, not the West.
He said this in an interview with the French TV channel TF1, Censor.NET reports with reference to LigaBusinessInform.
Commenting on possible negotiations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, Macron suggested that the topic of NATO expansion would be one of the issues discussed.
Macron said he would like to provide a "guarantee of its own security" to Russia when the aggressor country returns to the negotiating table.
However, the French leader stressed: it is up to Ukraine to decide when to hold negotiations and under what conditions.
"It is for the Ukrainian people to decide on their own, under what conditions, how, when - not for us. But we want to point out, although we are not involved in the conflict, that we do not accept it. But one thing depends on us - the security of the rest of Europe," he said Macron. Source:

Council of EU approved decision to limit price of Russian oil
On Saturday, the Council of the EU decided to set the maximum price for oil and oil products and oils originating from or exported from Russia at the level of 60 dollars per barrel.
As Censor.NET informs, "Euro Integration" writes about this with reference to the message of the Council of the EU.
The cap price level was set in close cooperation with the Oil Price Restraint Coalition and will take effect on December 5, 2022.
"Limiting the price of Russian oil will limit price spikes caused by extraordinary market conditions and will sharply reduce the revenues that Russia received from the sale of oil after it launched an illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. It will also contribute to the stabilization of world energy prices and the mitigation of negative consequences for the energy supply of third countries," the message says.
On October 6, 2022, the Council of the EU adopted a decision to ban the maritime transportation of Russian oil (from December 5, 2022) and oil products (from February 5, 2023) to third countries, as well as the related provision of technical assistance, brokerage services or financing or financial assistance.
