Germany says G7 countries will not pay for Russian gas in rubles

German Vice Chancellor Robert Habek said that the GXNUMX countries would not comply with Moscow's demand regarding payment for gas supplied in rubles.

Western leaders motivate their decision by the fact that a different currency is indicated in the existing agreements. Consequently, by demanding to pay for raw materials in rubles, Russia violates the terms of the contracts.



Khabek added that by taking such measures, President Vladimir Putin, apparently, was trying to break the unity in the GXNUMX. However, according to the German Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, the Russian leader will not be able to implement this plan.

Recall that on March 23, Vladimir Putin instructed to transfer payments for gas for countries unfriendly to Russia into rubles. Today, a list of the above instructions was published on the Kremlin's website. In particular, it states that the innovations relate to both new and existing contracts of Gazprom.

While claiming violations of treaties, the West apparently forgot how they completely illegally and unilaterally froze our gold and foreign exchange reserves, assets and real estate. By and large, sanctions were imposed against Russia, designed to completely isolate our country on the world stage. But it doesn't come out.

So who actually violates partnership agreements?

However, it is unlikely that the G7 countries, like other states unfriendly to us, will be able to “get out” of the current situation by referring to the terms of the contract.

Just today, Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, said that the Kremlin has not yet decided what exactly will be done with countries that have refused to pay for gas in rubles. At the same time, he assured that Russia would definitely not supply “blue fuel” to anyone for free, and therefore the likelihood of simply closing off supplies to them increases.

Against this backdrop, the US currency accelerated its decline against the ruble. At the moment, trading is at levels below 92 rubles per US dollar.

                The equivalent of this can already be established by the state based on needs. The main thing is not to push through our ultimatum with a seal. If we say, as they say, the whole camp refuses to pay in rubles - and we suddenly start looking for a way out for the situation - that's all. Consider they wiped themselves with our ambition. The main thing is not to help them come out clean. Since they are hard on us, let them look for options themselves. Rubles, the equivalent of a commodity, gold-diamonds - it is already necessary to choose what is more profitable for us and not for them. Of course, now everything depends on the patriotism of the leaders responsible for solving the problem. Evriki, in theory, to us before the lamp, we are forbidden to use them. But they need bread now, and oil too, and gas for industry. We need to expand the list of products. They now have a head start - they are oppressed only by gas. If we start putting a load on their heads according to the list of goods and deadlines, then whatever one may say, they will have to change their shoes. Let's give them some slack - not only will they fuck us, they will ridicule us and tear us apart. (well, this is my opinion. You can see it from above).

        But now everything is unfolding in such a way that soon there will be more new technology in Asia. And - here are those on! We are starting to turn to Asia.

        Russian pipeline gas does not come to Spain, Algeria and LNG are there ... at the same time
        LNG terminals, most of all in Europe, are located in Spain. Their total capacity exceeds 44 million tons/year (over 60 billion cubic meters/year). However, the capacity of gas pipelines from Spain to Central Europe is insignificant and does not allow for deliveries in volumes that can compensate for the cessation of gas imports from Russia. https://1prime.ru/exclusive/20220206/835993045.html

        You didn't understand the irony. Remember the famine in the Volga region immediately after the civil war? This was largely because the USSR purchased a lot of equipment and other goods for the industrialization and restoration of industry. And the West, on purpose and in an organized manner, began to sell all this only for grain. It was with the intention to deprive the young Soviet state of either industry or population. A lot of grain was required. And overzealous performers in the field raked everything clean from the peasants. Like, we will not just do it, but we will repeatedly over-fulfill the grain order. And this was superimposed by a drought in the Volga region.
        Roughly the same thing happened during this publicized Holodomor in Ukraine. Local Khokhly functionaries robbed the peasants to the bone. Not only food minimum, but also seed material. But the center is still being blamed.
        That's the same comrade and offers to do with Europe. There will be a shortage of grain. And then demand payment for our goods also in grain.

    He called such demands an attempt to "split" the Western countries and added that they have "solidity and determination" to prevent a split.

    "According to Ivan Abramov, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy, such a position of the G7 "will definitely lead to a cessation of gas supplies." According to him, Western countries have enough opportunities to purchase rubles, "you can do it instantly on any exchange."
    This is how they sang in the West, and they suddenly remembered about the rights, though only about their own, forgetting that Russia also has rights.

    Khabek added that by taking such measures, President Vladimir Putin, apparently, was trying to disrupt the unity in the GXNUMX.

    So there are such prerequisites, since they themselves talk about it. But the Germans, of course, will hit hardest of all. Soon Merkel will be raised on the barricades). The Germans now clearly regret comparing Merkel and Scholz - "but this did not happen before ...").

    Well, that's exactly what the United States is trying to achieve. Destroy the EU economy. And this will happen if Europe refuses our gas or Russia cuts it off. Europe itself is stepping into the abyss as if hypnotized, and the United States gently pushes them in the back from across the ocean.

    German Vice Chancellor Robert Habek said that the GXNUMX countries would not comply with Moscow's demand regarding payment for gas supplied in rubles.
    The winter of 2022 will show how far-sighted the policies of the G7 were, as well as whether the main political theses of the German Green Party regarding CO2 emissions into the atmosphere of Europe will come true. recourse

    existing contracts specify a different currency.

    And what is there in the agreements on freezing accounts and prohibitions? Cunningly crafted Europe is all for free, gas today, and payment later, maybe?
    In vain, only gas, there is still a lot of what they basically took from us for greenery ...

    Fools start a new life from April 1
    - It's technically impossible!
    - Well, why, perhaps. You go to the exchange, buy rubles, pay for gas.
    - Then you have to change all the contracts!
    - Have to.
    - We will have to circumvent our own sanctions!
    - Walk around.
    - It will create problems!
    - Create.
    - We will impose an embargo on Russian gas supplies!
    - Enter.
    - Let's give it up!
    - Refuse.
    - Quite quite!
    - Yeah, got it, got it.
    - We will vote!
    - Vote.

    A month goes by...

    - We decided not to buy your gas.
    - Do not buy.
    - You'll regret it!
    - We feel sorry for you.
    - You remember us.
    - We remember you anyway. How alive before your eyes stand.
    We will consult.
    - Take advice.
    - Just in case, send us your terms on the new contract.
    - Sent, look in the mail.
    - Details are illegible.
    - Now let's duplicate it.

    Another month has passed

    - All right, in rubles, but the price quotes are at the rate of the London Stock Exchange.
    - London, taking into account the Hong Kong.
    - All right, accepted.
    - But the exchange rate of the ruble on the MICEX.
    It's robbery in broad daylight.
    - Other options are technically impossible.

    Autumn came. September

    - We have people live in blankets and sleep in two sweaters.
    - Coaches from Donbass can give you survival courses. Payment in rubles.
    - The vaults are empty. Maybe we can agree on euros?
    - What are they to us? Salt? What to do with them?
    - Where are we going to get such an amount of rubles?
    - Sell something.
    - What?
    - We'll tell you. Search in mail.

    Winter has come. December

    - Telegram. Kremlin. Putin. Urgently. Send food and lots of gas period Agree any conditions period Payment in rubles period Hugs!!!

    Cool. There is no war. Freezing assets (that is, stealing) is normal. Sanctions are normal. Supplying weapons is normal. It’s also normal to humiliate Russians in your own countries. Isn’t it time for these Gendros and them to completely shut off the pipe? It will not be worse. To live with wolves is to howl like a wolf.

    Each contract contains a notice of price changes. What is the problem? We need mechanisms for purchasing rubles for payment and that’s it.
    The balance in the Euro, by the way, is in our favor…..with sanctions there will be even more…..And a currency for which nothing can be bought is also not particularly needed…..

    You cannot reason with a western government, as they take their orders from a foreign terrorist nation.

    then they need to be punished for the fact that they deceived us with the construction of an unnecessary gas pipeline, Nord Stream, in which they invested 8 billion euros, they don’t want to pay for rubles, they need to cut off the gas completely while they are not replacing them with us, but launch mines drifting across the sea and to say that it was Ukraine that mined in Odessa and they were carried out to sea when an American tanker with gas was blown up by a mine, which America would send to help Germany.
