EU price caps on Russian oil will not effect its supply volume: Russian Dy PM
St Petersburg, Jun 19 (UNI) Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak on Thursday said that Europe's price caps on Russian oil will have no effect on its volumes of supply, adding that even the zero level of price ceiling will not affect them. Speaking to Business FM on the sidelines of SPIEF (St Petersburg International Economic Forum) 2025, Novak said "I assume that the introduction of the USD 60 ceiling had no influence. This means that even if zero (price ceiling) is introduced it will have no influence," reports Russian state media TASS. Currently, the G7 and EU countries (the price cap coalition) have banned imports of Russian crude oil and oil products, but allowed shipowners from their countries to transport them and provide brokerage and other services if the commodity is sold at a price that is no higher than the cap set by the coalition. The objective of the embargo and price cap is to limit Russian budget revenues from the sale of energy resources while maintaining a sufficient supply of crude and oil products on the world market. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed on June 10 that the EC's proposal calls for the reduction of the price cap for Russian oil to USD 45 per barrel as part of the 18th package of sanctions against the country. However, Novak noted that it is not profitable for the European Union itself to lower the price ceiling to USD 45 per barrel. 'Now we supply more to our friendly jurisdictions than previously, though it is not related to the price ceiling, but to sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU, by the US, other unfriendly countries. I even think that it is not profitable for the European Union to lower prices, say, to $45," he explained. Novak added that none of the price ceilings implemented in the last few years have had any effect on Russian oil export.

No oil shortage on world market amid escalation of conflict in Middle East
ST. PETERSBURG: There is no oil shortage on the world market due to escalation of conflict in Middle East, but the associated risks are already reflected in prices, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Wednesday, according to Sputnik/RIA Novosti. "There is no such thing. The balance is maintained. Deliveries are being made. The market evaluates certain risks, so this is reflected, among other things, in the price," Novak said on the 2025 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) sidelines. Novak added that Russia sees no risk of reducing its oil exports, as numerous ships are currently waiting despite the escalation in the Middle East. "We do not see such [prerequisites]. The market is fully supplied with energy resources on the domestic market and for export," Novak replied when asked if there was a decline in Russian exports due to tankers taking a wait-and-see attitude at sea amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. Novak did not comment on forecasts of an increase in oil prices to US$100 per barrel amid the escalation in the Middle East. The Russian city of St. Petersburg will host the 28th edition of SPIEF from June 18-21 under the theme of "Shared Values: The Foundation of Growth in a Multipolar World". Rossiya Segodnya international media group, RIA Novosti's parent company, is the forum's information partner. -- BERNAMA-SPUTNIK/RIA NOVOSTI

'It's not a matter of life and death anymore': Mouratoglou explains why Djokovic has not won the 25th Grand Slam
Renowned Tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou has shared his opinion on why Novak Djokovic is not winning Grand Slam titles anymore. read more Patrick Mouratoglou, who won 10 Grand Slams as a coach with Serena Williams, has questioned Novak Djokovic's hunger and desire, as the former world No.1 has failed to reach the final in the last three Grand Slams. Djokovic's last Grand Slam final came in 2024 at Wimbledon, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz. At the US Open 2024, Djokovic lost in the third round, before exiting the Australian Open 2025 at the semi-final stage due to an injury. At the French Open 2025, he lost to Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals after beating Alexander Zverev in the Roland Garros quarter-finals. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Renowned coach dissects why Djokovic is not winning Grand Slams While a large section of fans and experts feel Djokovic remains competitive as ever at the age of 38, Mouratoglou feels the 24-time Grand Slam winner is facing the issue of a lack of motivation more than a drop in the level of his tennis. 'His tennis there and I can totally see him winning that match against Jannik,' Mouratoglou said. 'Of course it would be a very tight match, but he has so many in the past and most of the time, he found a solution to win. 'Level wise, he is there. Physically, he is there, but winning those matches is not about the tennis. It is more about the mental side of it. 'I did feel he accepted the dominance of Sinner on him, which is not Novak. I didn't see the Novak I know and I still think his motivation is not high enough.' Mouratoglou clarified that he didn't mean to say Djokovic had no motivation, but he's not sure whether the drive to prove himself as the best is the same as it was when he played against now-retired Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. 'It is there [motivation], but I don't know exactly where it is. Is it that I still want to show the world that I'm the best? That was a little bit of his motivation before because everyone was a fan of Roger [Federer] and Rafa [Nadal] and he wanted to prove he was the best. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It is a thin line to do everything to play and great match to I'm not going to lose this f***ing match. And this was always Novak. 'I think that was something that really drove him. He lost his drive for the reason that he's the greatest now.' Mouratoglou also explained why he felt Djoklovc lacked the motivation to beat Sinner. 'Why did I feel that? Because of his body language in the match was different. 'He was smiling at his team. He was kind of enjoying the moment. This is not Novak. He is a fighting beast. In his career, he was closer to being angry and smashing rackets than smiling and being happy to be here. 'Now he is happy to be here in the semi-finals of Grand Slam, competing with those guys and it's not a matter of life and death anymore. 'In the final of the Olympic Games with Novak against [Carlos] Alcaraz on the same exact court ten months ago. Look at the two videos, he was a bull who would do anything to win. It was a question of life and death. This was the Olympic Games. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I understand fully when you are fighting the fight of your life to show the world and yourself that you are the best in history, you cannot have the same motivation as he has now to win a Grand Slam. His purpose was the fight against the two others to prove who was the greatest of all-time. Djokovic, however, will soon have a chance to prove his critics wrong as he aims to win his 25th Grand Slam at Wimbledon, which starts on 30 June.
