Russian President Vladimir Putin allowed natural-gas buyers from “unfriendly” countries to pay debts for fuel in foreign currency, partly lifting a requirement for ruble-only payments.
Repayment of debt doesn’t provide grounds for a resumption of Russian gas supplies to buyers that don’t comply with other requirements of a presidential decree issued earlier this year, according to amendments published late Friday.
