global energy markets. the limit will come in on monday, after the eu persuaded poland to back the plan after warsaw initially considered it too high. and some market experts believe it's more of a symbol of rebellion against the kremlin than a realistic financial weapon. they want one measure in place to suddenly contribute to that discount being bigger, but not as large as some wanted, and the fact it's taken the eu so long to agree on a cap is because some countries which tend to be hawkish on russia wanted that cap to be much lower. other experts say sanctions like this are hurting russia, but president vladimir putin is still making huge amounts of money through oil. the kremlin denounced the scheme, saying it would not supply those countries which enforced a price cap. before the war, more than half of russia's oil exports went to europe, but russia has found new markets in india and china, and new money to fund its war. louisa pilbeam, bbc news.
