Russia’s Central Bank pegged the ruble’s official exchange rate at more than 105 against the U.S. dollar for Wednesday, marking its weakest valuation since the early days of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
In retrospect it was probably a mistake to let Russia get away with occupying Crimea back in 2014. The rest of the world opted for the quiet life and hoped it would stop there. Unfortunately it only emboldened certain individuals within Russia to start meddling again, thinking that everyone else had gone soft.
Well we’d certainly let our guard down, no mistake there. Gone soft is an entirely different matter. As they’re now finding out.
