Yesterday the US introduced new sanctions
Some Russian electronics stores have suspended sales due to the «incomprehensible dollar exchange rate», as reported by the Telegram channel «Backdoor».
Today the exchange rate of the American currency has dropped to 87 rubles, while at some exchange offices there is already a queue of people wanting to exchange currency.
On Wednesday, June 12, the US Treasury Department announced another round of anti-Russian sanctions. The Moscow Exchange promptly responded to the news, stating that trading in dollars and euros on the exchange would be suspended from June 13.
The regulator assured that dollars and euros can be bought and sold through Russian banks, and the ruble exchange rate will remain «unified and market», «only the range of data for its calculation will change» .
