This Thursday if Russia didn't get Rubles for gas and oil from Europe he was not going to deliver the fuel. However, some are saying according to the contract the payment is made in Euros or dollars. It sounds like the crisis will be averted for a while until the attorneys can figure out the legal obligation for payments. I would stress that the bank and cash shut down and gold conficaction is not legal either, but the west has attacked Russia in that way. I would consider this as extenuating circumstances.
Here is a headline form a German paper:
FOR THE TIME BEING, GAS CAN CONTINUE TO BE PAID FOR IN DOLLARS AND EUROS

Russia’s military says it will “radically reduce” activity aimed at Kyiv and Chernihiv.
In the last few hours a long continuous message of Russian propaganda has been broadcast on various radio frequencies to the inhabitants of Odessa, Ukraine. It's frankly unbelievable that in 21st century Europe we would be witnessing these kinds of events
Broadcast on multiple radio frequencies during the last hours.
English Translation:
"Citizens of Ukraine, Odessa, avoid mobilization and gathering in the reservists centers, avoid joining Territorial Defense. Avoid being next to piers, near and inside military headquarters, government buildings, and barracks. Military administration authorities have located schools, hospitals, administrative and historical buildings to be places of dislocation and military positions of Ukrainian army and nationalistic battalions. All these places will be attacked by missile and bomb strikes. Staying at these places is dangerous for your health and safety. If you live nearby the battle positions of Ukrainian army, Territorial Defense, Pravy Sector, National Guards or other armed units, if you see tanks, rocket launching systems and other weapons in the yards of your houses, schools or kindergartens, leave your houses immediately and move to the safer districts. Leave your cities to avoid becoming a human shield or a hostages, like Azov combatants did to the citizens of Mariupol. They are not defenders, but terrorists. Run before it's too late, you will be released through humanitarian corridors afterwards. Think of yourselves and your families now.
Citizens of Ukraine, all ships and boats of Ukrainian Naval Forces will be destroyed inevitably, while moving or being anchored, staying next to piers or pontoons. Avoid being on board of the ship by all means. This will save your life. Avoid being close to piers, nearby or inside the headquarters, inside administrative buildings or barracks. These places will be attacked by missile and bomb strikes. There will be no more warnings. Think twice if you or your family needs that. Your only chance to survive is to leave your ships and boats immediately, or to move to territorial water of Russian Federation at full speed, while communication over 16th radio channel that you won't be serving the criminal power anymore, as well as resisting the ships of Russian Federation"
Russia says that shelling from Ukraine was responsible for explosion at a camp in Belgorod, Russia
Zelensky sees "positive" signals from Ukraine-Russia talks
I thought the war was over in Donesk?
Ukraine and Russia are still hard at work in peace talks in Turkey today. They have made good progress on quite a few items on the list, and it is anyone's guess how close they are to a peace agreement.
I have noticed that the idea of them reaching an agreement seems to make Blinken and the Whitehouse quite upset. They appear by their negative attitude to want this to escalate into a larger war. True warmongering globalists to the end.
