 10 EU countries quietly buying gas with rubles, Hungary says

Hungarian PM Viktor Orban's chief of staff, Gergely Gulyas, appears to have spilled the beans on what is really going on among the Russia-dependent European nations, as the ruble surged to six-month highs against the dollar.

While multiple European leaders have publicly proclaimed they won’t buy Russian gas in rubles, 10 EU countries are technically going along with Putin’s plan, Gulyas told public radio on Sunday.

Gulyas said that Hungary has opened a euro account with Russia’s Gazprombank, revealing “nine other countries" are using the "same payment scheme,” but these countries’ leaders aren’t admitting this in order to be seen as “being a good European.”

It is unclear which EU countries Guylas was referring to, Gazprom has already shut off supplies to Poland and Bulgaria after both refused to pay in rubles.

 Trump: Putin doesn’t respect American leadership anymore

Former President Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin demonstrates this lack of respect for US leadership by talking about nuclear weapons “all the time.”

Speaking at a rally in Nebraska Sunday, Trump said Russia’s attack on Ukraine happened due to US “weakness” and “incompetence” under Biden, which he said was demonstrated by a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan last year.

Last week, Putin warned outside forces against interfering in the Ukrainian conflict, promising a “lightning-speed” response to any such action with the use of Moscow’s most advanced weaponry.

 Finland SCRAPS Nuclear Plant Deal with Russia

Finnish group Fennovoima said Monday it had canceled its contract with Russian state-owned Rosatom to build a nuclear power plant with “immediate effect.”

The planned Hanhikivi-1 site was commissioned by Finnish-Russian consortium Fennovoima, in which Finnish stakeholders own two-thirds, and the rest is held by nuclear power giant Rosatom subsidiary RAOS.

Fennovoima said in a statement the termination was due to “significant delays during the last years” and “risks for the project” associated with the conflict in Ukraine which RAOS “has been unable to mitigate.”
