* Ministers from the G7 confirmed commitment to the plan after a virtual meeting
* They said, however, the per-barrel level of the price cap would be determined later 'based on a range of technical inputs' to be agreed by the coalition
* There are concerns measure won't be effective without likes of India and China
* Both have sharply increased purchases of Russian crude since Putin invaded
* And in a threat to the G7 nations, the Kremlin warned on Friday that it would stop selling oil to countries that impose price caps on Russia's energy resources
The G7 agreed to impose a Russian oil price cap on Friday to slash funding for Putin's war in Ukraine, while keeping crude flowing to avoid price spikes.
However, there are concerns among some officials that the cap could be scuppered without the participation of major importers such as China and India, which have sharply increased their purchases of Russian crude since Vladimir Putin invaded.
And in a threat to the G7 nations, the Kremlin warned earlier on Friday that it would stop selling oil to countries that impose price caps on Russia's energy resources, saying such a move would lead to significant destabilisation of the global oil market.
