In Russia, financial panic continues, which is accompanied by a fall in the ruble to the dollar. On Monday, June 26, the Russian ruble to the US dollar approached the level of March 2022. This is evidenced by information on the Investing portal. The Russian national currency has continued the fall, which has been going on for several months in a row. Thus, on June 26, the ruble to the US dollar exceeded 85 rubles/dollar.

It happened for the first time since March 30, 2022, when the ruble fell against the background of the beginning of a full -scale war in Ukraine and the introduction of sanctions restrictions on the Russian economy. Ruble indicators are reduced not only with respect to the dollar. For example, it should be noted that earlier Russian banks sharply raised currency rates after the statements of the head of the Wagner PEC, Yevgeny Prigogine.

He accused the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation of strokes on the positions of its company and reported that 25 thousand people were starting a campaign to Moscow. Economic problems in Russia began in the spring of last year, but negative phenomena will intensify throughout 2023. Thus, in early March, the economist, former NBU Council Council Vitaliy Shapran, told focus that the aggressor economy would be seriously affected with a long period of low oil prices.

"The economy of the Russian Federation can die without devaluation if the low price of oil is maintained for a long time. But if the cost of" black gold "will last $ 40-50 per barrel for a long time, then the ruble will not stand for a long time. But the devaluation of the ruble is more illustration- The external manifestation of what is happening within their economy and the inflationary factor than the fundamental pressure on the Russians, "the expert explained.

By the way, at the beginning of 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that dollars and euro were compromising what currency. Therefore, he ordered the Russian government to switch to payments in rubles for gas supply, abandoning currency payments. At the same time, a year after the introduction of large -scale sanctions against the Russian Federation for a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, the Chinese Yuan replaced the US dollar in the financial markets of Russia.
