“The ban or termination of the US dollar will not apply to the exchange operations carried out by Russian Central Bank, the Russian government, ministries of foreign affairs and defense, the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Federal Security Service.”
Comment:
You know what this reminds me of?? In 1934 when the US banned private ownership of gold. Exception to the rule, gold was allowed to trade between various countries and their banks.
Evidently, US Dollars for Russian citizens these days are the same as GOLD was for American citizens in 1934. This is a very interesting clue for the “situation”.
