The Ministry of Foreign Affairs mentioned that because the Russian ruble has been unable to settle settlements with most strong currencies, according to the regulations issued by the Russian government, if the Russian government and the private sector make payments to creditors of 48 countries, they need to pay in rubles instead, and they must first report to the relevant Russian government for approval. ; Russia’s main purpose of this measure is to evade international financial sanctions and try to ensure its domestic financial stability, not a targeted counter-sanction measure.
