The Russian authorities intend to offer a new fuel payment scheme to unfriendly countries – gas buyers from Europe.

According to RBC, the new scheme includes the mandatory establishment of an account in a Russian bank and in rubles.

Referring to its sources in the Ministry of Finance, the publication clarifies that foreign gas buyers will not be able to transfer the payment to the supplier company otherwise. The last one is Gazprom.

Later, Russian President Vladimir Putin officially announced a similar form of payment for gas with unfriendly countries.

According to the document signed by the Russian leader, Russia will consider non-fulfillment of obligations under gas contracts by unfriendly countries if they do not pay in rubles from April 1.

At the same time, the president explained, if the unfriendly states refuse to make payments in rubles, then the existing contracts for the purchase of Russian gas will be frozen.

Gazprombank has been appointed as the authorized bank to open ruble accounts.

Recall that in March of this year, Vladimir Putin announced that European countries unfriendly to Russia will be able to pay with Moscow only in rubles.

In response, the United States and a number of EU countries announced the breakdown of the agreements, because judging by the contracts, all payments had to be made in foreign currency.
