President Vladimir Putin says Russia plans to switch its gas sales to unfriendly countries to roubles while responding to a freeze on Russia’s assets by foreign nations.
Putin says Russia will continue, of course, to supply natural gas in accordance with volumes and prices fixed in previously concluded contracts.
Putin says the government and central bank had one week to come up with a solution on how to move these operations to the Russian currency and that gas giant Gazprom would be ordered to make the corresponding changes to gas contracts.
