Draghi Says EU Companies Can Pay for Gas in Rubles

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi says European companies will be able to pay for gas in rubles without breaching sanctions, apparently dismissing European Union guidance to the contrary. "There is no official pronouncement of what it means to breach sanctions," Draghi said during a press conference.

And that ladies and gentlemen is how you punk 30 countries that hates your guts

[sashaa]

Very confusing.... why is the EU imposing a sanction to spike energy prices around the world, and then quietly sidestepping it for the European corporations?

[barryshaw]

Your going to end up paying for all Russian imports in Rubles, you started it deal with it.

Soon OPEC countries will quote their oil in dinar, riyal, peso etc .... no problemo.... so?

[nstsvetkov]

If all EU countries are like this, then the EU deserves do disintegrate. Then let Russia and China pick up the spoils with offers of cheap gas and supplies. Disgusting on the part of Draghi!

Recently, the Italian Parliament - with the support of the SVP senators - decided to hold an Alpini Memorial Day on January 26 to commemorate the Battle of Nikolayevka on January 26, 1943. Alpini fought with Hitler's troops in the racial, ideological war of extermination against the Soviet Union in this battle. Numerous war crimes and the extermination of two villages by the Alpini are documented in connection with the Battle of Nikolayevka!
[The Alpini are the Italian Army's specialist mountain infantry]
