we were expecting this would likely start sooner or later
Gazprom also told Bulgaria's state-owned gas company Bulgargaz that it will shut off gas supplies starting .
The Bulgarian energy ministry said paying in rubles was unacceptable and posed "significant risks" to Bulgaria.
He added the Bulgarian side has "fully fulfilled its obligations and has made all payments required under this contract in a timely manner, diligently and in accordance with its provisions."
The Bulgarian government agencies are making alternative arrangements for the supply of natural gas.
Congratulations Russia, you just lost another paying customer. Likely permanently.

British defense minister says strikes into Russia 'legitimate'
Ukraine has the right to use Western-provided weapons to strike military targets on Russian soil, U.K. Defense Minister James Heappey said. Such strikes aimed at disrupting supply lines are "entirely legitimate," he told the BBC.
Heappey also dismissed a top Russian diplomat's assertion that the danger of a nuclear conflict is "serious" and "real." Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made the statements on Russian TV, accusing Ukrainian leaders and NATO of provoking Russia by "pouring oil on the fire" with the advanced weaponry. Heappey said the likelihood of nuclear war is "vanishingly small" since it would not be in the best interests of any country
@nature1970
It is in the best interests of the globalist power elite to have Russia and the USA destroy one another...both nations are standing in the way of their plans for world domination. The monsters surrounding Biden are NOT who you think they are.
I take Lavrov's warning of nuclear usage seriously...the sooner we realize that psychotics in our government are provoking Russia the better off we will be...I am convinced though that most of us will be dead soon from thermonuclear war...hope I am wrong.
putin started all this he reaps what he sows
Likely, if he survives cancer surgery
Vladimir Putin is allegedly about to undergo cancer surgery, with rumors continuing to build about his health following his invasion of Ukraine.
- MSN
Russian President Vladimir Putin could formally declare war on Ukraine
as soon as May 9,
a move that would enable the full mobilization of Russia's reserve forces as invasion efforts continue to falter.
Western officials have long believed that Putin would leverage the symbolic significance and propaganda value of that day to announce either a military achievement in Ukraine, a major escalation of hostilities -- or both.
Putin ups the ante
(Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin put the West on notice on Tuesday that he could terminate exports and deals, the Kremlin's toughest response yet to the sanctions burden imposed by President Joe Biden and allies over Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
The only thing Moldova has is great wine. They are the poor man of Europe and 1/3 of their people have fled the country in search of work. About 40% of the GDP is from contributions from overseas foreign workers.
An oligarch bankrupted the country after independence from Russia as he stole over 1 billion dollars through fake loans made with the approval of the government...trafficking in children and women is rampant and corruption and bribery is their national past time...
Suffice it to say, Moldova is not a ripe plum awaiting Russian invasion anytime soon...Russia was thrilled to end any monetary commitment to them in 1990. One of my pals visited there years ago and the place apparently is a real $hithole.
Goes both ways
Cancer surgery?
Cancer surgery?
whats that about ??
Putin ramping up rhetoric against Poland
Says Poland might be a source of threat
(Reuters) -
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Friday
that there was hostile rhetoric coming out of Poland, and
that Warsaw could be "a source of threat".
Poland has led calls for the EU to toughen sanctions and for the
Western NATO alliance to arm Ukraine as it tries to resist Russian
forces that have poured into its east.
Stanislaw Zaryn, a spokesman for the Polish security services,
said that Russia has been conducting a coordinated disinformation
campaign against Poland for several days, including suggestions
it could be a threat to Ukraine's territorial integrity.
"The aim of Russian actions is to create distrust between
Poland and Ukraine, as well as to slander Poland and
present it as a dangerous country generating conflicts
in Eastern Europe," he wrote in an emailed comment.
