These payments were made to Gazprom accounts in the West. By seizing Russian assets, the West has frozen payments they made for Russian gas. They were using Russian gas for free all these years.
Now payments for Russian gas has to be made to #Gazprom bank.

Thread about how #Putin came to the decision to invade #Ukraine, about the current Russian military strategy and its political underpinnings, and about the consequences that may arise from such a strategy.

On #Putin's decision to invade #Ukraine, Gordon Hahn (@rusolog) gives crucial insight. Was it planned all along, or was it last minute? Read the article.
gordonhahn.com/2022/04/28/put…

A gang of would-be-assassins based in Moscow, consisting of White Power and Neo Nazi elements, and taking orders from #Kiev, was planning on killing Russian media personalities. No word on this in Western media. natyliesbaldwin.com/2022/04/gilber… h/t @natyliesb
This is "a new phase in #Ukraine’s hybrid war that is being stage managed from Washington...the West has been very lucky till now that #Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, has shown great forbearance by not responding in kind to the vicious war being waged by Washington"
This is what Russian panellists said on 'The Great Game', a Russian TV show. They also went on to say that, at a certain point, #Putin will respond in kind... #US #Ukraine
