Roubles

One of Germany's biggest energy firms has said it is preparing to buy Russian gas using a payment system that critics say could undermine EU sanctions.



Uniper says it will pay in euros which will be converted into roubles, meeting a Kremlin demand for all transactions to be made in the Russian currency.



Other European energy firms are reportedly preparing to do the same amid concerns about supply cuts.

I heard that earlier in the day.

As long as they aren't going through certain banks e.g. Russian Central Bank then they aren't breaching sanctions.

And?

Would payment in roubles resurrect dead Russian soldiers and burnt out tanks?

There will be oil and gas embargo anyway, better buy a warm clothes.

Luckily we in the UK don't need Russian gas.

And living in a city means I can easily use public transport, bicycle or shanks pony.

Wont resurrect dead ones but will pay for new ones.

The soldiers being much cheaper than tanks:

A Wagner Group Merc costs $3000 a month.
Regular solider costs $1000 a month.
Cannon fodder conscript costs $50 a month.

Pay ratio be like Contactors, Permies and Interns.

You just reminded me that Russia's birth rate has been falling for last few decades.

That means they have less cannon fodder to fight their war, so they need to be more careful that in the past how on how expendable they are with conscripts lives.

It's merely a stop-gap. Can't run off the Russian pipes overnight.

So, your plan is to make your customers who pay in euros to pay in roubles so that you could pay your military in US dollars?
