PUTIN: All gas contracts with "unfriendly countries" must be paid in Rubles starting April 1st. Failure to pay in Rubles will result in the gas being shut off.

German and French economy ministers said today they won't make payments to Russia for gas in rubles as Putin has demanded. “The contracts are in euros and must be paid in euros and will be paid in euros,” French Minister for Economy and Finance Bruno Le Maire said.

Trump warned Germany but they did not listen
Watch Russia change the terms of the contract.
And what are ya gonna do 'bout that? Invade Russia and take their fuel?

LOL
Wait until you see the globalist who replaces him after regime change. He has held up their one world government. But you are in luck.. the deep state obama and co likely installed in 2014 will ensure this is a done deal.
Even if they have to sacrifice 1000 times the population of ukraine. Who wants the deplorables and unwashed anyway.
So Russia can’t be trusted to honor a contract they themselves wanted and freely signed
that says a lot about Russia
It looks like Germany and France are going to have to pay in rubles or get their gas shut off. I’ll bet Germany is wishing they hadn’t shut down those nuclear power plants now.
All of these idiots thought that having Russia as a single source of energy, and letting your nuclear sector go fallow, were good ideas.
The decree offers the option of opening an account in an authorized Russian bank, such as Gazprombank, which is already one of the main financial institutions through which payments for Russian gas are made.......
......The buyer will then transfer the gas payment to this account (in full accordance with the contractual terms and in its currency of choice),...... which the bank would then sell on the exchange for rubles, credit to the buyer’s ruble account, and transfer the funds to the gas provider.
The decree does not imply a permanent change in the payment currency, but only introduces a new settlement procedure, so that the payment can reach the Russian supplier. .....This way it does not violate existing contracts, as buyers will continue to make payments in their currency of choice.
I wish everyone here wouldn’t get all excited. Don’t you all see? look at the date. It’s right there in front of you. This is Putins April, Fools Day joke. Comrades, just sit down and drink some Stoli and laugh at how you’ve been taken by the Russian master again.
Russia won’t demand immediate switch to ruble for gas payments: Kremlin
Asked whether the payments should be in rubles starting from Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “Absolutely no.”

One side claiming a right to unilaterally change the terms of a contract defeats the purpose of a contract.
“...already knew that, Vlad. We’ve seen your great kindness of heart in Ukraine.”
I know, isn’t great how he’s helping get rid of nazis like soros, hunter, and the big guy.”
He’s doing every country a favor that turns to a more reliable source. The ones that have it might even start using their own. At least the smart ones.
French Minister: The contracts are in euros and must be paid in euros and will be paid in euros.
Putin: I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further.
And stopped burning their coal.
GREEN ENERGY is the root cause of this crap.
