Kremlin says EU gas price cap ‘unacceptable’
The Kremlin said the price cap for natural gas of 180 euros per megawatt hour agreed on by EU energy ministers after months of wrangling was “unacceptable”.
“This is a violation of the market price-setting, an infringement on market processes, any reference to a (price) cap is unacceptable,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was cited as saying by Russian state-run news agencies.

Moldova fears new Russian push towards breakaway east in 2023
Moldova’s spy chief said there was a “very high” risk of a new Russian offensive towards his country’s east next year, and that Moscow is still aiming to secure a land corridor through Ukraine to the breakaway Moldovan region of Transnistria.
The comments by Alexandru Musteata, head of the Information and Security Service, echo recent messages out of Ukraine where top army generals have warned in recent days of the threat of a major new Russian offensive early next year.
“The question is not whether the Russian Federation will undertake a new advance towards Moldova’s territory, but when it will do so,” Musteata told the TVR-Moldova television channel.
He said his agency believed Russia was looking at several scenarios to reach Moldova and that it was possible an offensive would be launched in January-February or later in March-April.

Hyundai lays off staff after idling Russian plant since March
South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Company, formerly one of Russia’s biggest car makers, has begun laying off workers at its St Petersburg factory, which has stood idle since March, largely due to the effects of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
“Owing to the continued suspension of production, Hyundai Motor is taking steps to optimise its staff numbers in Russia,” Hyundai’s Russian unit said in a statement.
It did not say how many staff members would be laid off.
About 2,600 people built Hyundai and Kia cars at the plant, which has a capacity of some 200,000 vehicles per year.
South Korean media reported in October that Hyundai was considering options for its Russian operations including selling its manufacturing plant.

EU price cap an end to Russian ‘market manipulation’: Polish prime minister
A European Union agreement on a gas price cap means an end to market manipulation by Russia and Gazprom, Poland’s prime minister said.
Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on Twitter: “We have an agreement on a maximum gas price of 180 euros [$191] per megawatt hour. At the recent meetings in Brussels, our majority coalition managed to break the resistance – mainly from Germany.
“This means the end of market manipulation by Russia and its company Gazprom.”
