Kremlin Evaluates Gas-for-Rubles Strategy
The new payment method is working successfully, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov says, adding that Russian gas buyers which refused to pay in rubles have already been cut off.
“They have already been turned off… The system is working, the system has been adjusted,” he told journalists.
“Those who receive gas are already working according to the new system, which is defined in the relevant decree of the president of Russia.”
The new payment mechanism was introduced by Moscow on April 1 and applies only to countries that have imposed economic sanctions on Russia.
