The gas thing with Poland and Bulgaria is an obvious attempt at a scare tactic; if either one buckles and pays in Rubles then they can try to strongarm the Western European countries into doing the same. Even though practically everyone else also isn’t paying them in Rubles they pick two of their smaller markets to set an ‘example’, because obviously leading with Germany or even my country would cost them too much money, Euro or not. I’ll give them this though, while it’ll fail, this is most sound strategy they had in this war yet.
