Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Hungary would pay for shipments in rubles if Russia asked it to. On March 31, Moscow issued a decree requiring foreign buyers of Russian gas to open ruble accounts in state-run Gazprombank or risk being cut off. The European Commission earlier has said that those with contracts requiring payment in euros or dollars should stick to that.
