MOSCOW – Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov is confident that the system of gas payments in rubles in the future will spread to other Russian export products as well, Russian news agency Tass reported.
Speaking of ruble payments for Russian gas, he noted that buyers “will pay in euros like they used to, in those very units indicated in agreements.”
“Yet, that said, the final payment will be submitted to the seller, Gazprom, precisely in rubles by buying Russian rubles with these euros,” he emphasized.
He called this a “prototype of a system” of ruble payments. “Yet I have no doubts that in the future it will spread to new groups of products as well. And will be used increasingly more in our foreign trade relations,” he concluded. (MENA)
