Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the transfer of settlements with the EU and the USA for gas and other Russian goods into rubles .

According to Putin, under the current conditions it makes no sense to receive money in foreign currency. Putin gave the Central Bank and the Cabinet one week to execute this order.

Earlier it was reported that against the backdrop of the start of the military special operation of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, announced by Putin on February 24, Western countries imposed economic sanctions against Russia, which led to the collapse of the ruble and significant difficulties in the banking sector and many other sectors of the economy.

With hundreds of Western firms refusing to work with Russia, there were interruptions in the supply of socially important goods and a rapid rise in prices in the country.

At the same time, the economic problems of the Russian Federation returned like a boomerang to a number of Western manufacturers.

In particular, the Finnish media industry was on the verge of ending newspaper printing . This is due to the acute shortage of paper, part of which was imported from the Russian Federation. With the start of the special operation and sanctions, the supplies stopped.
