BERLIN, March 30 (Reuters) - Germany will continue to pay for Russian gas in euros or dollars, a government spokesman said, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin had told the German chancellor nothing would change for European partners despite his plan for rouble payments.
Russia has said that because of Western financial sanctions over Ukraine, it plans to require payment for its energy exports - especially the gas that Germany depends on - in roubles rather than the usual euros or dollars from April 1.
In a phone call between the leaders, Putin told German Chancellor Olaf Scholz that nothing would change for European partners and payments would be made in euros and transferred to Gazprom bank, which would convert the money into roubles, the German spokesperson said.
"Scholz did not agree to this procedure in the conversation, but asked for written information to better understand the procedure," said the spokesperson.
He added that a Group of Seven agreement, stating energy supplies from Russia would be paid for only in euros or U.S. dollars, remained.

The EU suspects that Gazprom worked on worsening the EU’s energy crunch ahead of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Putin will be happy to get the dollars or euros. There really isn’t a downside for him.
Hey puti, you know what would be even more awesome than 1000 nuclear bombs? Leak everything you got on the bidens
They know the skinny now!
Yep - the euros will be pouring in via the UNSANCTIONED Gazprom.
Guess Pooty broke Pooter...
Scholz’ buddy Schröder probably orchestrated that.
Agreements between Germany and Russia have historically been harbingers of wider war.
...except the currency markets aren’t believing this will hold, as the Ruble is almost back to its pre-war levels, and holding.
Not at all surprised Germany and Putin would work something out between them.
Pooty gets the cash.
The Zermans blinked.
I was wondering where you were going with that...
Maybe Biden can trade them some of his depends to pay for our russian gas?
That’s because Russia needs the cash to buy Chinese junk.
Sanctions will be gone by the End of the Year, and Hunter will be back in Russia giving favors to Russian oligarchs and Putin himself, and daddy will get 10%.
Gazprom=10% for the BIG GUY!!!
Perhaps Crackhead Hunter can, Russian prostitutes and cash in exchange for lowering of some key sanctions.
The ruble has stablized now so there’s that as well - and oil dropped $2 last I looked.
