However, on the news about the strengthening of Western sanctions and the introduction by the government of the Russian Federation of restrictions on the export of foreign currency abroad for individuals, the panicky mood of investors reappeared. Since March 2, by decree of President Vladimir Putin, citizens are prohibited from taking out more than 10 thousand dollars when leaving abroad.

Previously, when exporting a currency above this equivalent, it was simply subject to declaration.

The economic sanctions of the West, imposed in response to the actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, provoked an unprecedented weakening of the ruble and an unprecedented collapse in the stock market. The EU proposed to disconnect Russia from the SWIFT bank payment system. In a number of countries, an audit of the property of Russian oligarchs has begun with the aim of its further requisition.

After the introduction of sanctions against the Bank of Russia, branches of Sberbank in Europe announced a forced closure. The supply of aircraft, cars, spare parts to Russia has stopped, which has already led to the shutdown of a number of large enterprises. Analysts expect an increase in social tension in the Russian Federation due to a sharp drop in the standard of living of the population.

The EU has said that the “total economic and financial war” against Russia will not stop until Putin stops the military operation in Ukraine.
