At this point you can't believe anything that is being said by russia. 

And yet, there's still some circles that seem to gobble up everything Western media writes that's critical of Russia instead of putting forth some extra effort and trying to find independent sources that are more factual than that of Soviet rapes and sent to the front w/o weapons via Enemy at the Gates.

Here's an example of a neutral piece of information that is quite good.

Plenty of facts and 1st hand experiences in there, more people should try it, myself included.

The gas thing will be interesting. Russia will be in breach of contract if it doesn't accept euros (or dollars). Not that contracts matter at all to Russia.

It is currently creating a very interesting image for itself as a country. Something along the lines of, "Don't trust us in anything. We will disregard all of our commitments and signed deals and betray you whenever we can and/or like."

Well, why would they accept currency, which is of no use to them, when being sanctioned? On what legal basis did the other countries seize/freeze Russian assets, if there was no direct hostilities towards those countries? 

 

You can go back and fort on various legal aspects, but in the end it's about who has and who wants to buy
