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.

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.

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.Last edited by Fraidycat; 29 April 2022, 07:47.

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.
