Ruble surges to 7-year peak after Germany and Italy allow ruble use

[Dennis 8,391]

Ruble surges to 7-year peak after Germany and Italy sought to bypass the sanctions they imposed on Russia by now allowing their companies to buy russian oil and gas with the sanctioned ruble, as Putin demanded.

All I can say is I'm sick and tired of the leadership of these two countries.

Not shocked 

Though this peak is temporary, still doesn’t excuse pathetic and weak leadership

Not surprised. Sanctions don’t work, they never have and never will. They just end up hurting the working class ppl in whatever target country they’re in.  
 

Plus the rest of the world is now getting cheap oil and gas trading using the ruble and not the dollar.
