Russia says it will cut off gas supply to Europe after G7 vow
The Group of Seven major economies has agreed to reject a Moscow demand for gas to be bought only in Russian currency.

Russia's Vladimir Putin made the demand last week of "unfriendly" countries - presumably those that have imposed sanctions.

He instructed the country's central bank to work out a procedure for buyers to acquire rubles in Russia, in a move apparently designed to support the currency - which has collapsed against other currencies.

Germany's energy minister has said meeting the demand would be a "one-sided and clear breach of the existing contracts".

He added that "payment in rouble is not acceptable and we will urge the companies affected not to follow [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's demand".

In retaliation, a Russian politician said the G7's refusal will definitely lead to a halt in supplies, according to Ria news agency.

Many European countries rely on Russian gas, although the UK has already banned imports.

All those countries that rely on Russia but still had the audacity to sanction Russia. Countries like Germany. Make all of them prepare for Recession. It is about to hit them hard, it will be swift and painful. Please russia should go about this plan immediately and without delay! Them think say, Russia is Iraq, North Korea, lybia or other small countries like Even USA that only do without talking. Russia puts its money where it's mouth is. By 31st of this month, all those dirty EU countries that refuses to pay in Ruble will be cut off. No time for nonsense. Next time they will think twice before expanding their shitty alliance to the doorstep of a sleeping bear as that is the cause of all this

Force ke? grin they will plead for mercy instead.
The cheap oil that they've been enjoying is about to be turned off. They said some German citizens were offered free potatoes but refused to take saying it would be too expensive to boil. I wonder what would happen to the EU when Russia turns off the tap. I'll save my laugh for that time grin

The present PM doesn't reason at all. If Merkel was still in charge of Germany, I guarantee you that Germany would've remained neutral or even if they slammed Russia, they wouldn't have sanctioned Russia. Don't you see turkey?
Turkey has slammed Russia repeatedly. Times upon times upon times without number. But one single sanction dem no ditch out. Russia didn't mention them in their unfriendly nation list. Infact the next round of peace talk is going to take place in Turkey grin
I just dey laugh Germany because Germany is a country that produces a lot of things to sell abroad. They need cheap oil to maintain their production. We've seen how vulnerable they are to oil unavailability or high price. Their biggest trade partner is China, followed by Russia. Without any of these two countries, they would find themselves in recession. Yet them no think about their citizens, like turkey did. They join USA dey slap sanctions on Russia. They joined all the round 1, round 2, Round 3, etc rounds of sanction on Russia alongside Japan who has been begging russia to give them back Kuril island. People dumb iswaer grin

USA had contract with Russia too. Their warnings to Russia was "invade Ukraine and we'll sanction everything". Russia invaded and they placed embargo on Russian oil in the US.
Russia is now telling the EU "fail to pay in Ruble, we will not sell to you again". Who gives a damn about contracts?
Do you even realize that there are countries in other continents outside Europe? Or wait, do you think there aren't other continents outside Europe in this world?
Russia has big customers in Asia. And ever since this row started, they've started making plans to start selling to Africa. Read here

A country that the west is doing everything to isolate and ruin, you still expect that country to honor contracts with the same west trying to ruin them? Only a foolish person will do that.

Unfortunately, this is one scenario where the seller by happenstance becomes more powerful than the buyer. The sanctionee is asking the sanctioner to work against its own sanctions. Refuse to play by my rules, you will not only freeze to death, your gas driven economy will collapse before your own eyes. The very thing the sanctioner set out to achieve in the first place. A perfect checkmate! The sanctionee has other markets like Asia and some Europeans like Hungary are already breaking ranks, but the sanctioner has nowhere to source for alternatives, at least until the next 5 years. Wow, to be a big country and a super power no be beans.

These countries are rich and Russian's biggest buyers, who is Hungary and Asia markets to what countries like Germany spend, Russia even had to sell on discount to India, unless this is what they want then good for them

China, the world’s biggest importer of crude, India, the third largest importer of crude are already rushing it. As for gas, EU is just one market. (Nord stream & yamal) are both European pipelines. We also have power of Siberia 1 $ 2(China), Turk stream, Pak stream, Sakhalin 1 $ 2(Japan; 60% of Japanese gas comes from here, pipeline managed by Mitsubishi). So where to sell is not an issue.

In this case, no one is interested in wether you are rich or not. It’s a checkmate. If you do not play ball, you will not only freeze, your gas driven economy will crumble. Europe is driven by cheap Russian gas. At least until 2027, they have no replacement. It’s the buyer in trouble here not the seller.
