After all the high-sounding phrases of European politicians about how Russia blackmailed Gazprom's customers, suddenly we witnessed how some countries can pay for gas in rubles and others do not ...
Germany and Italy have told their companies after discussions with the EU that they can open ruble accounts to continue buying Russian gas without violating sanctions against Moscow, Reuters sources said.
However, why Poland, Bulgaria and Finland refused to comply with Moscow's request for importers to pay for gas through ruble accounts with Gazprombank and their supplies were suspended.
An expression of political courage or rather obedience to European masters?
