Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday there was no need to panic about the depreciation of the ruble in recent days, saying the Russian currency’s sometimes sharp fluctuations were related to budget payments and seasonal shifts.

Putin was speaking in Astana, Kazakhstan, following a summit with leaders of a security alliance of ex-Soviet countries.

I didn’t know the ruble was widely traded on the global markets.

I may be wrong, but I think US citizens are prohibited from trading the ruble. At least until the war is over.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia conducted a “massive” attack against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Thursday, firing nearly 200 missiles and drones and leaving more than a million households without power, Ukrainian officials said.

Russia's second major aerial attack on Ukraine's power grid in less than two weeks amplified fears that the Kremlin aims to cripple the country's power generation capacity before winter.

“Attacks on energy facilities are happening all over Ukraine,” Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said in a post on Facebook. He added that emergency power outages were implemented nationwide.
