If anyone wants a reality check...

Take a look at a currency chart of the Russian ruble vs Dollar.

There is no way that the Ruble can be the most improved currency in the past year, without billions and billions of dollars having flooded in from buying Russian gas, oil, fertilizer...

There is a HUGE black market and purchases are not getting declared. If I’m wrong then explain the big currency change...

To think, only if the EU can purchase oil and gas from another country. Like maybe the US. That will bring Russia to the table very quickly. And why does the EU have to buy gas and oil from Russia? Can’t they get all that energy from their windmills and solar panels?

Athos - you are far gone on Muscowy.

1 year ago, 1 ruble got you 0.011 USD
today 1 ruble gets you 0.012 USD

hardly an “appreciation.

The ruble is NOT ‘the most improved currency in the past year’ - that goes to the Swedish Crown

1 year ago, 1 SEK got you 0.094 USD
today 1 SEK gets you 0.100 USD
