::::What does this mean? Putin is on his way to Berlin or Paris or whatever? Who needs an internationally traded currency anyway? With trading suspended, the current value of the ruble is anybody's guess. The black market rate in St. Petersburg is said to be 400 rubles to one dollar. The finance minister's response to the collapse of the ruble is to claim that its a boon for exporters. Russia already has a labor shortage, and the solution is to export more? That's not how economics works. Its only a matter of time before Ukraine takes out the Kerch bridge with an ATACMS. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]])
