So, Ukraine pushing the EU to lower the cap on Russian oil prices is basically them trying to cut off more of Russia's cash flow. It’s like, if Russian oil can't sell for as much, Russia won’t make as much money to spend on weapons or military stuff for the war. I saw something about this on The Guardian recently, and it really stood out to me because prices of energy are still a big deal.

In my experience, when people talk about these oil caps, it sometimes sounds super technical, but honestly, it’s just a way to squeeze Russia’s wallet. Ukraine wants it even lower because, in their eyes, every dollar less Russia makes is one less dollar for missiles flying at Kyiv. I'm not an expert, but I think it’s a pretty clever move for Ukraine. They're basically asking their friends in Europe to help make life harder for Russia without fighting directly. It can mean higher prices for gas in Europe, though, and that’s the tough part for regular people there. Still, from a Ukrainian point of view, it makes total sense.
