The price was skyrocking already in December. Now we are more/less on the same level. I wonder if this situation was not helped by somebody.

Money-hungry people with no scruple and idiot politicians are in the first row...
 
Demanding payments in Rubles essentially "saved" the Ruble, and it makes sense why the currency bounced back shortly after it took a nose dive.

Not really, what is saving ruble is positive balance of trade and capital controls. It means, Russia is selling a lot in USD / EUR( Oil, Gas) and exchanging it into Ruble, but not buying much USD / EUR with Ruble. Does not matter who is exchanging EUR/USD -> Ruble.
 
no its not. public opinion is irrelevant in the west in such circumstances,

True up to a point. This war is media driven and ThatGuy is right that Russian media is no match for Western media.

However, when the economic impact hits Europe, the Western media's job will become harder as the public looks for excuses to exit the war. The public will become receptive to the interpretation that Ukraine is being used by the US, and that Europe has now joined Africa and the Middle East as the meat grinder for the super powers' proxy wars.

You obviously don't follow international markets and don't have any understanding of the situation with the Ruble. Do you know what a thin trading market is? Or the effect of Russian capital controls on the value of the currency? And which countries do you believe are paying in Rubles?
 
It does not matter for the Polish energy security. It`s interesting to observe if this is another bluff.
Sure. We will see soon enough. It seems Poland isn't the only one in the plan. Other parts of Europe are also in it.
