is this emotional architecture is kind of a mystery. believe me just starts december 25th on d w. ah ah, this is deed of you news live from berlin. the kremlin rejects a price cap on russian oil. it comes after the you joined the u. s. and other g 7 countries to limit moscow's funds for its war and ukraine. the $60.00 per barrel cap that takes effect on monday. also coming up fighting continues in eastern

ukraine is moscow's forces renew their assault on the city of buck. moot, relentless artillery barrage is force residence to flee at another world cup surprised south korea's last minute winter against portugal sees them qualify for the last 16 we'll hear from our corresponded in cutter. ah! i'll next by sir. welcome to the program. the kremlin has it rejected a price cap on its oil exports insisting it will be harmful to free, stable markets. the european union agreed to cap oil at $60.00 a barrel to reduce bosco's ability to fund its war in ukraine, with revenue from petroleum exports. the e u joins the united states and other g 7 nations in sanctioning russian oil, which reese, we traded at about $65.00 a barrel measure,

will come into effect on monday and intensifies western pressure on the kremlin over it's invasion of ukraine. european commission president ursula founder lions said the price cap would have a wide range of implications. it will stabilize global energy markets because it allows some russian seaborne oil to be traded, brokerage transported by e u operators to 3rd countries. as long as it is sold below the cap. so this price cap will benefit directly emerging and developing economies. and it will be adjustable over time so that we can react to market developments. together with our partners. we stand united and firm in our opposition to rush us, atrocious war. and earlier i asked the debbie's russia, analyst, constantine exit. if the price cap will make much of a difference to moscow. i don't think it will have a huge effect,

frankly speaking because there are many ways of bypassing this. i remember this on price cap concerns, essentially mostly those who insure the shipments and those who transport russian oil, for example, ah, you may claim or russians may claim that the oil is sold at 5999 while off to that. for example, the same country, for example, china or india will pay an extra rise for leather se russian wheat which is not banned by sanction. so i think it will have more a psychological effect. it will have some pressure on certain companies ago, for some of the insurance companies and transport companies be to be more cautious, but it will not be a disaster for the kremlin. and if we could just turn to the reason for this price cap, the war and ukraine, there's been heavy fighting again near bok. mood in conditions describes similar to those of world war one was a stake here. oh, frankly, speaking of,

if you look at military analysis, for example, of the british institute for the saudi, of all of those people who are profession, many of them ex military. ah, they do not understand what is actually the aim game here for russia. russia has been engaged in and around the mood for several months now. it spends a lot of material and a lot of men power on what seems to be at best a technical gain if this gain is actually cheap. i think what with the, what we're dealing with is with and 70 lack of overall strategy ah, by the russian commanders and by potent finally with regard to what they are doing in the east of the grain. this battle is kind of a full and into amazon echo of different small battles. each of them is not part of some kind of bigger overarching plan. and into that mosaic, the russian army is reportedly deploying newly mobilized troops on the front line.

will that change anything? i don't think so. these people up well for lack of better word, not being to politically correct. i can unfold of a puts him ah, because he actually cannot bear. let us say the chinese board of the finish body. he construct full the whole russian army to grain. so it has to basically rely on untrained conscripts which are going to die. oh must, ah, what is going to follow that? and that is my firm conviction is another mobilization than another mobilization. it's another matter that it may be conducted under some kind of all the guys, but people will be cold up. this will continue and it would be more russian deaths on from okay. russia analysts, konstantin agger, thank you for that insight. thank you. the united states as an unveiled it's late as stealth bomber at a ceremony in california. the multi $1000000.00 aircraft is the 1st to us strategic
