Debunk this for me. Where did OMV pay in Euros, in newly created Gazprombank account? Just asking, not trying to be hostile or anything.
Due to their somewhat friendly approach towards russia at first I believed that Austria agreed paying in rubles, when I read the fake news. It freaked me out a bit tbh
The word should be “denies”, not “debunks”.
>“They told us to open an account at Gazprombank. We want you to pay in roubles. We can still transfer the money in whatever currency we wish but how much that will be depends on the exchange rate. **And they set the exchange rate.”**
>Although several countries have agreed to open Gazprombank accounts, according to news reports, the official said that Bulgaria was unwilling to do so, adding: “First of all it’s a breach of contract, plus it makes the price arbitrary. Tomorrow they can say the euro-rouble rate is 1:1.”
