Russian terms
Since April 1, Russia has been demanding from all foreign customers from countries deemed “unfriendly” by the sanctions imposed as a result of the Russian military campaign in Ukraine, i.e. all members of the European Union (EU), among others, to pay for Gazprom’s gas in rubles, which some companies have refused.
The plan devised by Russian President Vladimir Putin to circumvent Western sanctions requires “unfriendly” countries to open two special accounts at Gazprombank.
In one, they have to enter the money for the received Russian gas in euros or dollars, which is then converted into rubles on the Moscow stock exchange and transferred to the second account in the Russian national currency.
