The Government of the Republic of Cyprus ordered banks to stop all operations with the Russian ruble - the media
According to journalists, Russians seek such services to obtain a residence permit and permission to work in Cyprus. The government uses the doctrine of "repression and prevention" to convince the public that everything is needed to restore Cyprus's reputation. According to the publication, the United States will send a group of 24 US law enforcement officials to the country, including FBI and Fincen.
Their main task is to assist the Cyprus authorities in the investigation of 29 cases related to sanctions against Russia. In the summer of 2023, serious changes in the financial market began in Russia. The sharp fall of the ruble to the dollar affected the economy. Already on September 9, the US currency went up to 98. 54 rubles per dollar. This is the maximum on August 15. In addition, the rate of the euro relative to the Russian currency to 105. 68 rubles per 1 euro rose.
From September 14 to September 22, the Central Committee sold Yuan for 21. 4 billion rubles a day against 2. 3 billion rubles now. The regulator explained its decision by the fact that in the middle of the month the Government of the Russian Federation should pay out the issue of foreign exchange government bonds for $ 3 billion. Recall that on December 5, Politico reported that the price limit for Russian oil was not reached, and Moscow continued to receive funds.
