Russia declines Germany's ruble payment for gas after cutting off supplies to Poland and Bulgaria, report says

"On Wednesday, Moscow halted natural gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria, sending European gas prices up 28% and adding to concerns that Putin could target other nations on the continent. Gazprom said the reason for the gas halt is that both countries failed to pay in rubles."

"target other nations on the continent..." 

(Well...somebody was sayin  what to expect...yup...)

"Meanwhile, four European gas buyers have paid Russia in rubles for supplies, complying with Moscow's demands, according to Bloomberg, which also said 10 European countries have opened accounts at Gazprombank to make ruble payments."
