Eitherways yeah i support russia.
This is what Russia wants you to think.
The fact is that they have implemented some very extreme measures to make it appear as ruble has returned to what it normally was, but this is a very short-term solution to control the public image and not cause a global panic.
If you look into it the only reason why ruble holds its current value right now is because Russia closed all of their internation stock markets and any mediums that could affect their currenctly. This, however, means that they are closing themselfls off to a lot of international businessess and import of goods. As you may already know there is a massive shortage of sugar and other essential items in many regions of Russia right now, and that will only get worse in time if Russia refuses to acknowledge the fall of its economy.
