G-7 nations agreed to impose a limit on Russian oil in September, and have been working on the details ever since. At the time, the EU's energy chief, Kadri Simson, she was hoping China and India would support the price cap, too.

As such, there are growing doubts about the true impact of the restrictions on Russia.
