I don’t know where this is coming from. Russia needs dollars. They have to buy things in dollars. Moving things to rubles is not helpful. Russia can print all the rubles they need. I’s dollars or Euros that they lack. They are selling Oil and buying dollars. They can use the dollars to buy other western stuff. Which is the need. And I assume other countries, especially China will aid them in doing this through their banking system.

The only thing Russia seems to be good at is backpedaling

Makes sense.

If you start a war you need currency. Got to have foreign currency to transact business. If you want to keep the war going.

And Russia, regardless of inflation can’t print enough rubles. Then the purchases of foreign products will have to be conducted in gold and silver which is cumbersome and otherwise not efficient.
