The showdown over Russian energy supplies has worsened. Finland has said Russia will stop supplying the country with natural gas from May 21 because it refuses to pay in roubles. Finland added that it was prepared for this, after Russia objected to its move to join NATO.

How shocking. Russia refused to supply Gas for Free to Finland

If you refuse to pay what the seller want, the seller got the right not to sell. What's wrong with that?

[LSWilliam]

This channel seems to be the poor cousin of the BBC for its superficial and tardy coverage.

No rubles no gas.., Russia not to free or charity..is was clear anounce..🤔👏

[trionochetoel]

Rusia sebagai penjual boleh dan berhak menentukan harga dan mata uang pembayaran.
Deal or No Deal.

So why don't they want to pay Russia in Rubbles? If they want Gas they gotta pay in the currency requested. It's not like Russia didn't want to sell them Gas.

In the United States if you don't pay your gas electric or phone bill they shut you off Finland pay your bills

Nothing is free there is always somekind of payment.

Finland refused to pay for Russian gas and Russia told them they were not prepared to supply them with free gas and thus their acount was now closed... long before Finland announced their intention to apply for Nato membership...why is the collective west and it's so called journalists insisting Russia is punishing Finland for applying for Nato membership? This is a straight financial arrangement which both sideds have concluded. Finland chooses not to buy gas from Russia and Russia closes their account and shuts off the taps...So effing what?

Where are all these money while the citizens of Europe are suffering and homeless.

[irustv]

if any EU country dont want Russian resources they can stop contracts (payments in rubles). Russia do best for self, for business and no more.

We cannot anymore trust payments via EU banks and currencies because EU stole Russian Cental Bank money (380 billion usd) in EU bank system (previous payments for resources). Only rubles via russian bank system.

Russia cut the gas and energy to finland because finland hadn't clear(paid) the payment from 7months

[danieln]

German, Italian, French, Hungarian oil and gas companies have already open accounts in rubles. But Finland is too proud for accepting common sense. Common sense is a far more complicated for them than Koskenkorva and blind submission.

[DanBurgaud]

Give Finland 1 year when hell freezes over.
Meanwhile, cutting the forest for firewood sounds very politically correct this time of the year.

[Расскажу]

Bravo Russia! You have the right to demand payments!

[henrysaari]

Finland managed to kick the habit surprisingly swiftly. There will be no more russian gas or electricity after 21.5. and zero/minimal coal or oil. The situation on uranium is still unclear? In 2021 about 1/3 of Finlands energy consumpton was still bought from Russia.

[htleong]

Russia is not supplying gas & oil for free because of the sanction. Finland should take care of it's people first rather than blindly following EU or USA propaganda

[jamesm]

Why are you talking nonesense...Finland refused to pay their account..on Rubles as requested
... NOTHING TO DO WITH JOINING NATO ....DUHHH

[Jad]

Russia has every right to do so. You supply weapons to their energy they respond by cutting gas. Seems more than fair. ZZ 🇷🇺 ZZ
