Duma President Vyacheslav Volodin warned the European Union that if it wants to introduce natural gas from Russia, will have to pay in rubles. He added that the same could apply to exports of oil, cereals, metals, fertilizers, coal and timber.
After the West imposed severe sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded that the gas exported to the EU be paid in rubles. The G7 energy ministers rejected this request yesterday, Tuesdaywhile French President Emanuel Macron told his Russian counterpart that such a thing would be impossible.
“If you want gas, find rubles”Volodin said in a post today.
“In addition, it would be right, where this benefits our country, to expand the list of products priced in rubles in order to include: fertilizers, cereals, oil, sunflower oil, coal, metals, timber, etc.” added, as broadcast by Reuters and rebroadcast by the Athens News Agency.
