Did you even read the article before you went into zombie idiot mode?
“The ruble’s weakening from around the 68 mark to the dollar in mid-January to current levels can be explained mainly by foreign exchange market dynamics and imports, Alfa Capital analysts said.”
It's over
Tic Toc,, Tic Toc, Tic Toc...
but he’s got all that gold he demanded in payment for his oil... can’t he use that???
And yet the IMF is predicting a growing Russian economy over the next two years.

All lies. Russian ruble stronk like polar bear. Russian economy growing much faster than inferior Kazahkstani economy.
The sanction war has minimal effect on Russia and devastated Europe and contributed to our 40-year high in inflation.
The sanction war yet another epic fail by the Biden regime but only someone as dumb as you and your neocon buddies keep celebrating it.
Every day that oil drops, it’s like a boa constrictor around Russia’s neck.
Funny. You post form Dubai source published in US in English.
Just one point form this article.
Expectations for weaker energy revenue were also weighing on the Russian currency after the central bank cut its Urals oil price forecast on Friday.===
Central bank cutting oil prices? Very fanny)))...
At the outset of the Special Military Operation Ukraine had a larger army in the field than Russia. That is no longer the case. Russia destroyed Ukraine’s tank brigades and now Ukraine is begging desperately for replacements. Ukraine’s Army has been decimated by the Russian tactic of using artillery to attack and destroy fixed entrenchments. Even if NATO decided to mobilize and send its own troops to reinforce Ukraine, that would not be enough to “expel” Russian forces. Russia is fighting for its homeland.

Russia’s so-called “conscripts” are military reservists, plus an estimated 100,000 volunteers who signed up. Ukraine, by contrast, is kidnapping 16 year old boys and 60 year old men off the streets in places like Kiev and Odessa. I find it hard to believe that Milley really believes the crap he is spewing. If he does then the United States military is in grave danger with a moron like that in charge.

Russia enjoys advantages in personnel, tanks, artillery, ammunition, electronic warfare, combat aircraft, helicopters and hyper sonic missiles. There is zero evidence that Ukraine has more courage, resilience or tactical skill than the Russians. In fact, the real asymmetry is that Russia has more trained soldiers than Ukraine by a vast margin.
###
Ukraine, with the help of the West, is sleep walking into the slaughterhouse. Ukraine and NATO’s refusal to wake up and grasp the reality of what is happening is likely to lead to the destruction of both.
Good news to me.
