As the journalist noted, the ruble has strengthened since then. At the same time, a week after the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, the ruble weakened significantly against world currencies – if 1.2 euro cents were issued in February, then at the beginning of March – 0.61. In June, the ruble rose to 1.8 euro cents. The euro is now almost at the same level as the dollar.
Cord reminded that the Russian national currency strengthened after Moscow decided to convert gas payments to rubles.
“It seems we are imposing our anti-Russian sanctions on ourselves!” he took note.
Former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban declarationThe sanctions policy did not live up to expectations, everything led to the European economy “starting to suffocate by hitting itself in the lungs”.
