Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in a statement to the media today, said that it is not true that Russia is using gas supplies as a way to blackmail the states.
Peskov said that there is a new rule for countries that have imposed sanctions on Russia, on the way of gas supply, which will be carried out only in rubles, but did not disclose whether any country had agreed to pay in rubles.
“This need is dictated by the fact that, as you know, a significant amount of our reserves are blocked. “Therefore, it is not about any blackmail,” he said.
He said that if other consumers “refuse to pay under the new system,” then President Putin’s decree that gas supplies could be cut off.
The EU today commented on blackmail by Russia, after deciding to cut off gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria. Moscow said it was because they had refused to pay in Russian currency, the ruble.
