Russia’s currency is up over 60% against the U.S. dollars.

It's up from about 0.013 prewar to 0.015 now. That's at most a 15% increase. To claim a bigger increase requires cherry picking an early March low when the Ruble was under trading pressure. Those lows did not last long. Chart: https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/RUBUSD/

You are correct, of course, but picking early March has merit, as that was when a certain airhead declared the currency to be “Rubble”.

Your source is using incomplete data.

The Ruble is surging big-time. The sanctions on Russia are backfiring and is collapsing the dollar simultaneously.
