Russia, Moscow evaluates whether to accept bitcoin for gas from friendly countries

Russia is considering whether to accept bitcoin for the payment of gas from “Friendly Countries”. To say this, quoted by the Bcc, is the president of the Energy Commission of the Russian Duma, Pavel Zavalny, according to whom Moscow is exploring alternative methods of charging for energy exports.

Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Moscow’s intention to have “hostile countries” only pay for gas in rubles.

Russian Ambassador Razov: “Moscow does not attack civilians, only military sites”

“Russia is not attacking civilians in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol or other locations but following the directions of President Vladimir Putin of hit only military sites“. This was stated by the Ambassador of the Russian Federation in Italy, Sergey Razov, who arrived in piazzale Clodio to file a complaint for incitement to commit a crime and condemnation of a crime for an article in the newspaper La Stampa.

“It is necessary to evaluate very carefully what is happening in Mariupol,” said Razov. “I remember when President Putin spoke about the objectives of the special military operation and gave the order to bomb only military sites “, he said. “As for the population present in Mariupol and in the other cities, the Russian military is proposing to open humanitarian corridors”, she explained.

Russia worried about sending arms from Italy to Ukraine

While Prime Minister Draghi is today engaged at the European Council on the Ukrainian crisis in Brussels, the majority is divided on the increase in military spending and in the meantime the controversy rages over Italy’s decision to say yes to sending weapons to Kiev. “The thing that worries us is that the Italian weapons will be used to kill Russian citizens. I want to remind you that the decision was taken when the first stage of the negotiations began: rifles are distributed not only among the military, but also among citizens and it is not clear how and when they will be used “, the ambassador said this morning. Russian in Italy Razov who did not hide his irritation also over the controversy in Italy on the Russian mission when the Covid emergency broke out.

“The mission is gone only in the places indicated by Italy, precisely in Nembro, the center of the pandemic at that time. We only did what our Italian colleagues said. The Russian mission ended when Italy proposed ending it. The Italian authorities expressed their gratitude in 2020 for what has been done. A helping hand was extended to the Italian people, but if someone bites it, it is not honorable “.” No nuclear threat from Moscow, but reflections of possible scenarios in the event of threats to the security of the Russian Federation. You should follow both messages – he added her – and not just those from the Ukrainian side. Every day I read the Italian press and every day I see some photos whose provenance is very doubtful “.

But what agitates the majority is the issue of the increase in military spending. Conte yesterday confirmed that the Movement will not confirm the position expressed by the group in the Chamber. “We would not live up to our Constitution if instead of intervening with urgent investments in emergencies to help companies and families in difficulty, we chose the path of massive intervention in military spending. This is an unacceptable choice for us”, he observed. .

And again: if at this moment “we chose massive investments in military spending, it would be – I say it forcefully – an ignoble choice”. The secretary dem Letta tried to throw water on the fire, the belief is that a solution will be found. But the tension grows. “It should be known that at this moment – remarked the leader of the dem group in the Serracchiani Chamber – that you cannot afford to put in difficulty a government that is facing very delicate steps, I am thinking for example of the energy decree, I am thinking of all the reforms we still have in place. feet, I imagine that there will be responsibility and awareness of the moment “.

“That of the 5-star Movement is a reckless position“, observes the Pd Marcucci.” We invest in renewable energies and hospitality management, everything else comes later “, re-launches the Interior Undersecretary Sibilia. The 5-star Movement is at a crossroads: next week it will arrive at Palazzo Madama the dl Ukraine and the opposition, both Fdi and Alternativa, will try to put the parties that support the executive in difficulty. And so the hypothesis that emerged yesterday morning of the presentation of an agenda to postpone it later, or after further measures to deal with the expensive bills and the expensive fuel – any kind of increase in military spending it could materialize again. Draghi goes straight: Italy confirms its intention to increase military spending by up to 2% of GDP.

“Both the NATO summit and that of the G7 – the prime minister said yesterday – showed an extraordinary unity in condemning the aggression against Ukraine It is in the maintain sanctions and in deciding to exacerbate them if necessary. The sanctions, in the various discussions, have been described as extraordinarily effective, the Russian economy is severely weakened. “The premier had an interview with the American president Biden and with the Turkish president Erdogan and a bilateral one with the Dutch prime minister, Rutte: Energy is on the table of the EU Council today.
