RUSSIAN WAR PROVOKES A BACKSLASH ON THE OIL FROM THE G7 LEADERS

ADSS accessories are fittings used to connect the ADSS cables on to poles and the towers. They are used to ensure the stable flow of electricity from one point to another. They include components such as suspension clamp; ADSS anchor clamp, ADSS aluminum alloy pole support and stainless steel pole band kit.
On 24th February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine at dawn over conflicts between them and they are still at war. The group of seven of the leading advanced economies like Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, United States and the European Union, held a meeting debating on how to limit Russia’s funding of the Ukraine war. They discussed on how they can reduce their income and still allow them to produce the oil. This made them to settle on a price of $60 per barrel.
Conditions of the Russian Oil Price Cap
Russia has however disregarded the price cap imposed saying that it will only sell its oil to the countries that will not support the G7 and EU’s decision. China and India have been the main beneficiaries of the Russian oil as they have been purchasing at a cheaper and discounted rates. They are yet to make their stand on the Russian and Ukraine war. The ADSS accessories are also used to prevent the conductors from damages caused by swinging due to strong winds.
The only way that Russia can sell its oil through the G7 and EU’s tankers is if they sell at or below the price cap. These tankers are fully insured and financially serviced to deliver the oil. Other off the record tankers are not insured of financed and hence may cause more cost on the Russian economy.
The OPEC and non-OPEC nations have met and they agreed to settle on the previous declaration of reducing oil production by 2 million barrels a day. The reduction of the production of oil from these leading export countries will cause a hike in petroleum prices which will also increase the price of commodities in the near future. ADSS accessories are essential to use in areas with harsh weather conditions such as storms and strong winds in order to protect the conductors and insulators installed on the overhead transmission lines.
Challenges of the Russian oil Price Cap
The European Union and the G7 have put in place these restrictions on the Russian oil with the intentions of limiting Moscow’s finances that fund the Ukraine war. With low finances, Russia will have to retaliate and withdraw from the war. However, the European Union has set up bans on all imports from Russia. These means that Russia cannot export product to the European Union and the European Union cannot export any product to Russia. This has affected other infrastructure like transport, airplanes and even the marine industry. All assets of the Russian leaders involved with the Ukraine war have been frozen in the European Union with the intention of reducing the funding of the Ukraine war. The main target is to promote peace among the two countries.
ADSS is also known as All-dielectric Self-Supporting cables and are mainly used in the aerial construction and deployment. It is mainly used in outdoor applications where there are different weather conditions.
