Does Putin feels cheated by the Russian army?

Russia’s top legislator warned the EU that if it wanted Russian natural gas it would have to pay in rubles and warned that exports of oil, grain, metals, fertilizers, coal, and wood could soon also be priced in rubles.

“If you want gasoline, find rubles,” said Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the lower house of parliament.

“In addition, it would be correct, when it is beneficial for our country, to expand the list of export products valued in rubles to include: fertilizers, cereals, food oil, petroleum, coal, metals, wood, etc.”

It was not immediately clear whether such a move could become official Russian policy, although Putin, announcing the ruble decision for natural gas, said it was only the beginning of the process.
