    Default Slovakia agrees to pay for Russian gas in rubles

    The country cannot afford to lose its major supplier

    Slovakia will pay for Russian natural gas in rubles if that’s what it takes to keep the commodity flowing, Slovak Economy Minister Richard Sulik has said on national television.

    “If there is a condition to pay in rubles, then we will pay in rubles,” Sulik said. He stressed that Russian imports account for roughly 85% of all Slovakian gas supplies, so the country’s authorities will remain pragmatic on the issue.

    “We cannot be cut off from gas,” Sulik emphasized, urging the rest of Europe to jointly seek a solution.

    Nearly all of the countries of the European Union, of which Slovakia is a member, slapped Russia with economic sanctions over the past month, jeopardizing Russia’s ability to receive payments from trade partners in the European currency. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin last week signed a decree introducing a new ruble gas payment mechanism.

    You can buy so many rubles only in the Central Bank of Russia which is under EU sanctions.

    So goodbye, sanctions.

    Slovaks are starting to dislike Zelenskyi and are starting to oppose the sanctions because of the high prices of gas and gasoline.
    Sulik is a great economist although a bad politician, so I'm glad they came up with this solution. Why should ordinary people from other countries suffer for war that is ongoing on another place.

    The gas to Slovakia goes through Ukraine. Zelensky agrees to pass the gas of the aggressor, yet he sends Ukrainians to die fighting it.

    Do what you should.

    I'm cheering Slovakia's decision of paying in rubles.
    It's a kick up petrodollars butt and thus good news.
    More countries shall follow suit.
