Shows that the $60 oil cap is working. The Russian central bank will likely raise interest rates to halt the slide. Unless Russia can boost it’s exports or reduce it’s imports there are no other options. Putin is unlikely to reduce spending on the war so in the end it is ordinary Russians who will bear the brunt of this.
Ordinary Russians either support the war or have no qualms with it. Maybe if it starts affecting their day to day life, some of them will change their stance.
Well yeah, no shit, it was kind of expected.
It lasted one more year than it should have but now the pressure will gradually and slowly build up on Russia’s side.
All Ukrainians have to do now is defend, chill out and wait.
Your move, Putin.
- They infuriated. Send them to Gulag.
- But komrade Putin, Gulag now too small. We sent even babushkas who protested of us sending their grandchildren to front.
- Make it bigger. Massive. It will help the ekonomy. If in troubles, start a war of build Pyramids. Russia kan do both!
Well, to be honest the ruble has been sucking for a while:

However, it now sucks more.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Sunday, images were shared online of a small symbolic protest mounted in western Siberia: A building’s chyron kept repeating the message that “Putin is a dickhead and a thief,” calling the ruble’s exchange rate “crazy.”
Nonetheless, Russia’s central bank decided to freeze purchases of foreign currency on the domestic market through the remainder of this year to restore faith in the sliding ruble.
The economic situation in the United States by contrast is deteriorating fast,” then Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a chief critic of U.S. aid to Kyiv, said last April.
Nabiullina was celebrated for cleverly steering her financial system through the worst of the turmoil by placing a range of capital controls that quickly stabilized the currency and prevented mass outflows.
“They were a quick fix for the ruble in 2022, but are counterproductive in the long run,” wrote Janis Kluge, senior associate at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, last week.
The Russian army is attempting to defend large swaths of territory seized in the early months of the invasion against a Kyiv counteroffensive boasting modern Western military equipment.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Wait, is this $0.01 American or Canadian we’re talking about
Either / both.
One Japanese Yen is worth 0.7 pennies today.
You are right, the spot exchange rate at a given point in time is random and tells you nothing (nothing!) about the value or strength of a currency. Japan is a great example.
What, however, does indicate a weakening or economic downturn is the uncontrolled depreciation of a currency, which errodes savings, threatens foreign debt paybacks, and makes imports more expensive
The Yen is relatively stable for decades at its spot. The Rubel is sliding against monetary and fiscal efforts, which indicates deeper macroeconomic issues.
“Deeper economic issues” is one of nicer things he’s been called since he started openly warmongering.
People aren’t talking about absolute value. Being worth 0.01 of one dollar or 300 of one dollar doesn’t say anything.
People are saying it with the context of the previous value.
If there is a headline saying Euro/dollar has reached 1.30, no one should be responding “so what, the Canadian dollar is 1.35”. Because everyone knows the context of Euro/dollar not being near that rate for a long time.
Misleading title
What’s misleading about it? His inner circle aren’t upset? He has an inner hexagon rather than a circle?
You see comrade, this is misleading title. The mighty Russian rouble is worth one mighty Russian Rouble.
It’s an 8 dimensional hypercube, obviously.
How so?
