Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused Western banks of failing to pay for Russian gas supplies after he demanded that European Union member states and other countries pay for Russian gas in rubles.
Speaking at a meeting on the current situation in the country's oil and gas sector on April 14, Putin blamed Western partners for what he called "defaults on export deliveries of Russian energy resources."
"Banks from these extremely unfriendly states are withholding the transfer of payments," Putin said.
Last month, Putin demanded that EU nations pay for gas supplies in rubles as crippling international sanctions slapped on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine began to hit hard, especially on the country's currency.
The move meant that European nations that have imposed sanctions on Russia, along with Britain, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the United States, would have to buy rubles at rates fixed by Russia's central bank to pay for Russian natural gas.

Putin should do us all a favor and impose the total trade embargo that our cowardly leaders refuse to impose.
Putin whines in public about not getting paid in rubles, while he continues to pocket billions in dollars and euro payments.
You didn’t know he can’t touch the dollar payments?
Effectively they are not paying at all
Does Pooty know they are paying in rubbles? All the Pootys here said that was a fact.
“these extremely unfriendly states”
Putin is like some abusive drunk that beats their girlfriend, puts them in the hospital, and then seems mystified why he is unfriended on social media her friends and family.
Putin can bank the dollars and euros, he just can’t spend them.
When he loses the war, he can spend them on war reparations to Ukraine.
The outright THEFT of Russian Gas by Western Oligarchs, as planned from the Fall of the Soviet Union.
Yup. True that.
The most amazing part of this is the successful Jedi mind trick where Soros forced Putin to invade Ukraine. That Soros guy is playing 3D chess.
In a way I dread going into these threads, because some of the
people I have respect for, have fallen for Putin’s propaganda
hook line and sinker. It’s sad.
Don’t forget the big Jedi mind trick of making Pooty keep supplying gas even though he’s not get paid. The “big steal” depends on that.
The obvious subtext here from the fake Tsar is -— “You have not paid me in me precious rubles. I cut your gas offski! Pay attention! I am Vlad the enormous!”
It’s time to cut the oil off to the countries trying to get their gas from Russia for free. If that happens, the regime changes will start occurring in countries like Germany.
No Gas for you, come back two weeks.
EU and American banksters have frozen half a trillion or so of Russkie foreign currency. This can be used to rebuild Ukraine when Bad Vlad croaks like his defense minister Sergei Shoigu. Shoigu not dead *yet* but sidelined by a heart attack.
He must be off in his native Siberia recuperating.
You’re nuts. I mean barking, gibbering, howling moon bat, **** house rat crazy.

“It’s time to cut the oil off to the countries trying to get their gas from Russia for free.”
It seems obvious, doesn’t it? Surely, they have a plan.
Or I’m just not that good at 3d chess.
Its very simple. Pay up or he cuts off the energy supplies for breach of contract.
Russia will quickly find other buyers for that oil and gas.
I don’t care what you believe about NATO, Russia, Ukraine, Putin, Zelensky....
It’s smart to watch the propaganda from all sides.
(If I lived in Poland or France in 1938, I’d be studying German, same reason.)
Don’t live in a sealed bubble, like a fish in an aquarium.
Here is a pro-Russian armed forces video.
