Russian President Vladimir Putin recently said that any countries opposing Russia during the war will have to pay in rubles for buying oil and gas from Russia. The deadline set for this is starting from Thursday. Experts believe that this move by Russia may deepen the gas supply crisis in Europe.
Trying to raise the price of the ruble
Russia said it would make practical arrangements by Thursday for foreign companies to pay for its gas in roubles, raising the possibility of supply disruption as Western countries oust Russian banks from the SWIFT global payment system. Since then the Russian currency has depreciated strongly and the demand to switch these rubles to it has not yet been accepted. According to economists, Putin has taken this step to increase the value of the ruble. Let us tell you that after Putin decided to attack Ukraine on 24 February, the ruble has fallen to its all-time low. According to earlier reports, the ruble has broken more than 30 percent against the dollar so far.
A Russian spokesman said the big thing
On the other hand, as Russia's attacks on Ukraine have increased and as Western countries increase economic sanctions on Russia, the gas supply crisis has deepened. While there has been a strong jump in crude oil, the price of gas in Europe has also reached the sky. On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a stern tone that no one will supply gas for free, it is impossible and if you have to buy gas from Russia, you can only pay for it in rubles. Let us tell you that this move of Russia is also being criticized because most of the Russian gas is paid in euros and the rest is paid in dollars.
Fears of supply disruptions increased
According to Peskov, all those modalities are being developed in line with the March 31 deadline set by President Vladimir Putin so that this system of payment of the gas price in rubles is simple and feasible for European and other international buyers. A report released in this regard said that Russia's announcement has given rise to fears of major disruptions in gas supply in Europe's top economies. Meanwhile, Germany has expressed strong concern over this move of Russia. Peskov said that Russia is entitled to defend itself against sanctions. We have been and will be a reliable supplier of gas. However, foreign companies will need to pay in rubles to buy gas.
Germany issued a warning
After the announcement of accepting Russian gas payment in rubles, its effect is also visible. Germany's government said on Wednesday it was issuing an early warning regarding gas supplies amid concerns that Russia could cut supplies if payments are not made in rubles. The West has rejected Russian demand for payment in the ruble, saying it would undermine sanctions against Russia after it invades Ukraine.
