Brilliant move by Putin to counter the International Mafia

Brilliant move to counter the International Mafia, Putin demands Rubles for Russian Gas 打擊國際黑手黨的絕妙舉動，普京要求祇收盧布拒收美元歐元購買俄羅斯天然氣

President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday Russia will only accept payments in rubles for gas deliveries to "unfriendly countries", which include all EU members, after Moscow was hit by unprecedented sanctions over Ukraine. Putin ordered Russia's central bank to implement the new payment system within a week. Immediately after his announcement, the ruble -- which has plummeted since the start of the Ukraine conflict -- strengthened against the dollar and euro, while gas prices rose.
