As for unfriendly countries, primarily a number of EU states, Russia will sell gas to them only for rubles. This circumstance has already excited the West, which does not know what to do, the parliamentarian believes.
“Today we have stumped many European countries. Our ruble exchange rate strengthened only after Putin’s words that we would sell gas for rubles. The hysteria of the European Union is understandable. Despite the hysteria of Western opponents, they have the opportunity to enter our Moscow Exchange, buy rubles and pay them off,” Belik said.
