Putin reeling as EU tipped to SLASH his cash with new Cyprus gas in major breakthrough

Putin is still raking in billions of EU cash amid the Ukraine conflict, despite the bloc trying to batter the Russian economy and end the despot’s war efforts.

However, Putin warned that he would slash gas deliveries to “unfriendly countries” which refuse to pay for the Russian supplies on rubles.

EU Commission President warned this would undermine western sanctions on Russian banks, and urged members of the bloc not to cave to Putin’s demand.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan struck an agreement with Vladimir Putin to purchase a portion of Russian gas in rubles back in August, dealing a blow to EU sanctions.

Mr Erdogan has also refused to slap any sanctions down on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
