(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 23 - Italy should reject Russian President
Vladimir Putin's demand that Europe pay for Russian gas in
rubles and not euros, Premier Mario Draghi's economic advisor
Francesco Giavazzi said Wednesday.
He told a Bloomberg forum that the government has not taken any
decision on the demand, mad earlier Wednesday, "but my opinion
is that paying in rubles would be a way of getting round the
sanctions (for the Ukraine war), and so I think we will continue
to pay in euros".
