Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Tuesday that Russia has not yet made any decision on asking customers to pay for its liquefied natural gas exports in rubles, and the Kremlin has not prepared any draft decision in this regard.
According to Bloomberg news agency, Gazprom CEO Kirill Paulos said on Monday that Russia needs to coordinate on pipelines and its exports of liquefied natural gas because Putin’s order to demand payments in rubles for exports through pipelines creates a “currency-based competition” between Two types of fuel.
Today, Peskov said that old household appliances in Europe, which consume a lot of energy, are not “friends of Putin”, but “friends” of the United States because the United States sells liquefied natural gas, which is more expensive than Russian pipeline supplies.
