“Huge queues gather in front of ATMs in Moscow and other Russian cities.”
If they’re in line, that means the ATMs are still working.
The Moscow bank run: a queue for a Tinkoff ATM in the Liga shopping center in Khimki. There are about 70 people in line. Eyewitnesses say the money in the ATM runs out within 40 minutes.

...for the first few in line, the remainder are hoping and praying that the ATMs don’t run out of cash before they get there....or get disabled under orders by bank IT.
