Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that most European importers of Russian gas have already switched to payments in rubles. Russian currency accounts for 90-95% of export deliveries.

“Those who expressed desire and will have passed. Taken from the total volume, I think that’s a big part.

Opinion is still not the limit, everything could be more critical,” he said. .
