Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov has demanded that the Russian Central Bank explain why the ruble is crashing.
Solovyov, one of the most well-known figures in Kremlin-backed media, made the remarks on his show that airs on Russia-1—an excerpt of which was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Francis Scarr from BBC Monitoring.
His heated comments came after the ruble slumped toward 100 per dollar on Wednesday, its weakest level in 16 months. The Bank of Russia later announced that it would halt purchases of foreign currency on the domestic market for the rest of the year.
"The bloody Central Bank, which has alarmed the whole country and isn't even explaining why the hell the ruble exchange rate has jumped so high that they're laughing at us abroad, at our ruble being one of the three weakest currencies," said Solovyov, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Thanks to the 'genius' policy of the Central Bank which despises the people so much that it won't even say a single word to them about what it's doing!" He added.

But Putin is a genius! He has us exactly where he wants us! 🤣
And now Putin is sending his VDV and Spetsnaz troops to the trenches at the Zaporizhzhia front to get clustered because he’s run out of mobkiks from Buryatia.
Just like he did last year at the Kherson front before it collapsed and the survivors had to flee across the Dnipro.
Stronk genius, that Putin.
The head of the Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, is one of the best central bankers in the world. But she isn’t a magician. The sanctions are finally taking their toll on the Russian economy, so the ruble is falling.
18 months of a 3 day “Special Military Operation”. Potemkin Russia and its useful fools are the joke of the world.
