Putin Backs Down, Says Russia Gas Can Be Paid In Euros by sanpipita(m): 7:23pm On Mar 30, 2022
The Russian leader said money would be paid into Gazprom Bank, which is not a subject of sanctions, and then transferred in rubles to Russia, according to a German statement.

Germany's government said on Wednesday it has received assurances from Russia that Europe would not have to pay for Russian gas supplies in rubles.

Olaf Scholz's office said Russian President Vladimir Putin told the German Chancellor Europe could continue paying in euros

In a phone call with Scholz, Putin said the money would be paid into Gazprom Bank and then transferred in rubles to Russia, according to a German statement. The bank is not currently subject to sanctions.

"Scholz did not agree to this procedure in the conversation, but asked for written information to better understand the procedure," a German spokesperson said.

Weak clown.. grin
Putin better go on his knee and plead for forgiveness..cos he will be day dreaming if he thinks EU will pay in rubble.. cheesy

He knows and understand the consequences of his actions..instead of paying in rubble I know they rather find an alternative.. grin

Oil and gas are responsible for more than 60% of Russia's exports and provide more than 30% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP)...The effect of the 2014 oil price collapse on Russia's economy was fast and devastating...I bet you Putin understand that well.. grin
In conclusion Russia needs oil exports to survive...that's Putin's last Hope now.. grin

He did not expect that G7 will reject his demands, or should I say cheap blackmail.

The sky is big enough for all birds to fly.

Still, Europe will find alternatives, now that he has played his jokers.

It's not very clear yet. I think this is German interpretation of the conversation between the two leaders.

You can see this from this quote from the article:

"Scholz did not agree to this procedure in the conversation, but asked for written information to better understand the procedure," a German spokesperson said.

Russia will sign the law on the 31st of March. It will come into effect on the 1st of April. If anything otherwise, it should be Russia news that carry it.

What it all means is the Germans will take their Euros to Gazprombank and buy Rubles, then pay for the gas in Rubles. No more paper accounts but hard currency transfers.

Scholz describing Russia’s energy as “essential” for the survival of Germany’s economy.

Comprehension can be difficult at times sha! I took a screenshot of your link and from the bbc. It is very clear the EU has capitulated and will be buying in rubles. Mechanism is to take your euro to an unsanctioned Russian bank who will help you convert it to ruble first at a rate set by Russian central bank, before it will be transferred to Gasprom for gas. In other word, you will be buying ruble with your euro from Gazprombank. It is on the bbc. The western media shamelessly trying to give a different headline for those who won’t read the content.

He never backed down, Europe did, they are to buy ruble from gazprombank with euro at Russian central bank fixed rates to pay for gas. It was always Europe that was choiceless.

Meaning nothing much really changed. Just that they will be sourcing Ruble from Russia bank directly instead from the open financial market. Russia is even making it easy for them to get Ruble. All in all, it will increase the value of Ruble at the end. We are already seeing the value of Ruble coming back to where it was before the "military operation" in Ukraine.

By the time Russia extends this policy to all her commodities' exports, the Ruble will pump hard.

The USA weaponised Dollars, now Russia is weaponising her commodities.

From all indications, things are not looking well for western Europe and the USA. We pray that desperation should not drive them to invade Russia, as this will lead to the bloodiest war in the whole of human history.

Fake headline
Europe will pay Russia to help bUy Rubles, which is only available with CBR and then use the money to pay for Russia gas.

Ruble hit all time record of 82.5 to dollar, meaning some companies are already buying rubles in large quantities.

This morning, MF warns Russia sanctions threaten to chip away at dollar dominance - FT

Russia will maybe by ending of April will make it law to use Ruble for all export and Russia met with India today to discuss that

Exactly, Russia is simply making the sourcing of ruble easier for them using gazprombank.

I have always said it that the US will throw Ukraine under the bus to save petrodollar. They are already stylishly rolling back sanctions in the name of essential commodities, with the EU to follow suit same rollbacks. Foolish zelensky! If you could decide against gas, what is fertilizer and medicine/tech. This is just shameless stylish rapprochement!
