Demnach habe der Staat im Zentrum Roms bei der Zentralbank Russlands Rubel im Wert von 10 Millionen Euro gekauft. Russischen Quellen zufolge habe der<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Vatikan im Zuge des Gaskaufs gegen Rubel alle erforderlichen Schritte unternommen. Das Verfahren zum Kauf von Energietr\u00e4gern in russischer W\u00e4hrung war zuvor von der Regierung der Russischen F\u00f6deration festgelegt worden. Auch die Telegram-Kan\u00e4le Readovka, \u201e\u041a\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0432\u0430\u044f \u0431\u0430\u0440\u044b\u043d\u044f\u201c (\u201eBloody Lady\u201c) und andere schrieben \u00fcber die Vatikanbank und scherzten sogar: \u201eSeine Heiligkeit versprach uns die Freuden des Paradieses mit Gas.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tats\u00e4chlich erwies sich dies als eine weitere L\u00fcge, die russische Medien eilig und freudig verbreiteten, um sich selbst Recht und einen weiteren Sieg zu bescheinigen. Die russischen Medien verf\u00fcgten \u00fcber keinerlei vermeintliche \u201eQuellen\u201c. Sie fielen auf den K\u00f6der eines satirischen Beitrags eines Twitter-Nutzers herein, der sich sp\u00e4ter daf\u00fcr entschuldigte. Dennoch ver\u00f6ffentlichten viele Websites und Nutzer sozialer Medien diese Information ungepr\u00fcft als verl\u00e4sslich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die Information \u00fcber den Kauf russischen Gases durch den Vatikan gegen Rubel wurde von Myth Detector, Peril of Africa und Oilprice.com \u00fcberpr\u00fcft und widerlegt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you know, Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered government authorities, Gazprom and the Central Bank of Russia to agree on payment in rubles for Russian gas with the so-called unfriendly countries. However, on March 28, the G7 rejected Russia&#8217;s request, stating that it would be a unilateral violation of the treaties. The next gas blackmail of the Kremlin failed, like all the previous ones.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian media report that the Vatican Bank has allegedly made a payment for Russian gas in rubles.
