A very informative interview with a Ukrainian scholar Olga Baysha. Keep in mind that she doesn't approve the current Russian intervention.

Only FORTY? Not 400 or 4k?Ghost of Kyiv 'killed' after shooting down FORTY Russian aircraft
Major Stepan Tarabalka, 29, a father of one, was flying a MiG-29 when it was shot down on March 13 battling 'overwhelming' enemy forces.www.dailymail.co.uk
A hero who fell fighting Russian nazi’s.
RIP.
1. Why then cannot use euros ? The is no trade embargo set on Russia. Only limitation on specific goods. Russia can do the same, but in case of Gas, it does mean they are breaking long term commitments.How can Russia honor those "agreements" if EU imposed sanctions on them that they can't use the Euros? It is actually the sanctions that have violated those agreements. Since there is no UN resolution that imposed sanctions on Russia, the sanctions imposed by EU are not enforceable in any court.
Second, Russia is not a member state in the EU, meaning the EU can't initiate unilateral sanctions on Russia without a UNSC resolution. And since the EU unilaterally initiated these actions any way, then Russia also has the legal means to initiate unilateral actions with respect to those agreements. In essence, by demanding ruble for gas, Russia is alleviating itself from the effects of those unilateral sanctions.
Finally, if the EU is going to argue that they initiate the sanctions due to the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, the EU didn't get endorsement in the UNSC nor did #ICJ action support the actions of EU. And in conclusion, Russia have the legal justification to alleviate itself from effects either by 1) demanding ruble for gas payments; 2) by stopping delivering gas to EU countries who sanctioned Russia.
Phillip.... The Ukrainian air force isnt the main reason as to why the RUAF have suffered losses. Its because of the Ukrainian Air Defence units (SAMs/AA). The sams shot them down. Not the air force

2. What specific agrement have the sactions violated?
3. Russia said what they think about the UN when they have shelled Kijow, when Secretary General was there.
4. EU can decide with whom we trade and what, ofc without braking long term commitments.
5. Russian, can request chaning the agrement to the payment in Rubel, but both parties need to agree to this. Otherwise this is a breach of a long term contract by Russia.
6. Generally, from Polish perspective winning a compensation for Gazprom breaking the contract looks very good. Other thing is that the contract was till the end of September, yeah but why Russia would not wait ? Master strategy again.
