European countries agreed to cap Russian oil price at $60 per barrel to further weaken Moscow's ability to finance its war in Ukraine.

With this agreement, the bloc countries joined their allies in the Group of Seven (G7), especially the US, UK, and Australia, after Poland obstructed the measure before it withdrew its objection on Friday evening.
