The European Union has once again lowered the price cap on Russian oil that is permitted for use within the EU.

The United Kingdom is considering plans to use oil seized from vessels belonging to Russia's shadow fleet to finance military support for Ukraine. Moscow has used the fleet to circumvent Western restrictions on its energy sector imposed since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has said that the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), of which Russia is still a member, is set to discuss on 15 January Moscow's attacks on Ukraine's energy sector and its ongoing disregard for efforts to end the war.

Russia's Foreign Ministry has said that the Coalition of the Willing declaration on security guarantees for Ukraine is far removed from a peaceful settlement, and that Russia will view Western troops deployed in Ukraine as "legitimate military targets".
