KYIV, Dec 3 (Reuters) - The price cap on Russian seaborne crude oil agreed to by the Group of Seven nations and Australia on Friday should be lowered to $30 per barrel to hit Russia's economy harder, a senior Ukrainian presidential aide said on Saturday. "This was everything that was proposed by the McFaul-Yermak group, but it would be necessary to lower it to $30 to destroy the enemy's economy quicker," Andriy Yermak, head of Ukraine's presidential administration, wrote on Telegram referencing an international working group on sanctions. The G7 and Australia have agreed a $60 per barrel price cap. Reporting by Dan Peleschuk; Editing by Kirsten DonovanOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
LONDON — A split appeared to be opening this week among Ukraine's supporters over whether its government should sit down for peace talks with Russia. He was summing up the feelings of many in the countries bordering Ukraine or Russia. In a separate interview with The Times of London, Lipavský accused Russia of behaving like a 19th century colonial empire. Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský, in Brussels this week, said the West should not dictate the terms on which Ukraine should negotiate. Michael McFaul, the U.S. ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014, said that while many would back the idea of peace talks, not everyone would believe Putin would "negotiate in good faith."

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailPutin doubles down on war despite internal resistanceMichael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia, joins 'The Exchange' to discuss Putin's decision to call up 300,000 military reserves for his war in Ukraine, the backlash he faces in Russia and what an end to the war might look like.
Several world leaders with strong Russian ties have recently rebuked Putin over his war. It declined to sanction Russia, and gave Russia's sanctioned oligarchs safe harbor, even as it condemned the war. ChinaOn September 15, Putin acknowledged at a summit with Xi Jinping that China has "concerns" about Russia's invasion. Public scoldingThe public nature of Putin's conversations with Xi and Modi make them sting more, said former US ambassador to Ukraine Michael McFaul. "Xi and Modi clearly wanted to signal to the world that they don't support Putin's barbaric, reckless, and losing war in Ukraine," he tweeted.
Ex-diplomats and Russia experts said it showed that Russia is losing the war in Ukraine. By comparison, taking control of the Donbas is a far less ambitious goal for Putin than conquering the whole of Ukraine. In his address, Putin threatened the use of nuclear force in the event of a "threat" to the "territorial integrity" of Russia. "Anyone who finds it necessary to say that he's not bluffing most likely is," Daalder said of Putin's latest nuclear threat. Both the US and the UK have indicated that they view Putin's escalation of the Ukraine war as a sign that his invasion is not going well.
Modi explicitly criticized Russia's war in Ukraine while meeting with Putin on Friday. "Today's era is not an era of war, and I have spoken to you on the phone about this," Modi said. We want all of this to end as soon as possible," Putin told Modi. Putin told the Indian leader, "I know about your position on the conflict in Ukraine, and I know about your concerns. Doesn't take much clairvoyance to see that Xi, Modi, and others are deeply annoyed by fallout from Russia's war in Ukraine.
Russia's military will have to be rebuilt because of the war in Ukraine, experts say. But the war in Ukraine has decimated the Russian military that Putin spent years building, while raising questions about his grip on power, Russia experts and military analysts told Insider. Russia's military is going to have to be rebuilt," George Barros, a military analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, told Insider. These losses have forced the Russian military to resort to pulling obsolete Soviet-era equipment, such as T-62 tanks, out of storage. The Russian military is "not nearly as powerful as we thought it was," he said.
Gaetz's name is absent from McFaul's LinkedIn page, too, where he describes his duties during that time working as a chief of staff for an unnamed "congressman." At least 25 of Gaetz's former congressional staffers don't mention the Republican congressman by name on their LinkedIn pages, according to an Insider analysis. McFaul declined to comment about why Gaetz's name wasn't on his LinkedIn page or his Ballard bio page. She also worked for Miller, Gaetz's congressional predecessor, but doesn't name him on her LinkedIn page, either.
