The war between Russia and Ukraine continues for the 36th day. Now President Vladimir Putin has signed the order, according to which from today foreign buyers will have to pay for gas in rubles only. Putin said that the contract would be suspended if payment was not made.
At the same time, Germany rejected Putin's move as blackmail. German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said Putin cannot blackmail us. Apart from this, Britain and France have also opposed this demand. They say that the contract to buy gas was earlier settled in Euro or Dollar and thus cannot be broken midway. In addition, Russia supplies about a third of Europe's gas.
