Si osserva che lo Stato, situato nel centro di Roma, avrebbe acquistato presso la Banca Centrale della Russia rubli per un valore di 10 milioni di euro. Secondo fonti russe, il<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Vaticano avrebbe compiuto tutti i passaggi necessari nel processo di acquisto del gas in rubli. Il metodo di acquisto delle risorse energetiche in valuta russa era stato precedentemente stabilito dal governo della Federazione Russa.

I media russi non disponevano di alcuna fantomatica \u00abfonte\u00bb. Sono caduti nella trappola di una pubblicazione satirica di un utente di Twitter, che in seguito si \u00e8 scusato. Nonostante ci\u00f2, molti siti web e utenti dei social media hanno pubblicato questa informazione come attendibile senza verificarla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L'informazione sull'acquisto in rubli di gas russo da parte del Vaticano \u00e8 stata verificata e smentita da Myth Detector, Peril of Africa e Oilprice.com.<\/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.
