“The Russian ruble plunged to a more than six-month low against the dollar Monday, as low oil prices and mounting sanctions fears threatened to hit the country’s export revenues.

The rouble was 2.4% weaker against the dollar, trading at 66.22 as of around 9:00 GMT Monday. The dip marks the rouble’s lowest level since May 30.”

“The U.K. will… ensure a constant flow of critical artillery ammunition to Ukraine.”

That is kind of the bottom line to this conflict - continued Western support means Russian defeat. There are several other nations that can also do this, each of which had a bigger GDP than Russia before sanctions. Others that can’t produce, can still chip in to buy more rounds.

Putin has screwed Russia bigly.
