The European Union is closing in on a deal to cap the price of Russian crude oil at $60 a barrel, their latest attempt to clinch an agreement before a Monday deadline, according to people familiar with the matter.

But Poland continues to push to harden the sanctions package before signing off on the price cap, and talks will continue tomorrow, the people said. Warsaw wants new sanctions linked to the cap plan.

They said the approach of the cap’s imposition had already forced Russia to discount its prices on crude sales more than the coalition had anticipated.

Deputy US Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo signalled on Thursday that $60 would be acceptable to Washington, saying it was “in the range” G7 countries have discussed. G7 countries are aiming to put the price cap in place before Monday, when wider EU sanctions on oil are due to come into force. The cap plan would ban shipping and services needed to transport Russian oil, such as brokering, financial assistance and insurance, unless the cargoes are purchased below the cap.
