Restrictions on foreign currency sale in Russia protect holders from serious risks
It was stated that Western countries are not going to stop the de facto economic war they have declared against Russia.
Restrictions on the sale of foreign currency in Russia protect its holders and economic agents from significant risks, presidential aide Maxim Oreshkin said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel.
"Do we need to lift such restrictions? In fact, we need to understand that in many ways these restrictions protect our economic agents. <…> It is very important to understand that in the current situation, the accumulation of these currencies of the so-called unfriendly countries leads to very serious risks for holders. Therefore, rather than being connected with other factors, these restrictions protect against these risks," Oreshkin said.
The official also stated that Western countries are not going to stop the de facto economic war they have declared against Russia and will introduce new sanctions packages.
"We see that no one is going to stop the economic war against us, which means that new packages of sanctions will be introduced, certain banks, certain companies may be subject to restrictions, and if they have dollars, euros, yens or pounds, they can be frozen at any time," Oreshkin said.
