Digital Desk: Following the launch of a special military operation by the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine, the Russian government authorised a list of 'unfriendly' nations and territories with Russia and imposed sanctions on the country.
According to TASS News Agency, the list of Russia 'unfriendly' nations includes the United States and Canada, EU states, the United Kingdom (including Jersey, Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, and Gibraltar), Ukraine, Montenegro, Switzerland, Albania, Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, North Macedonia, and Japan, South Korea, Australia, Micronesia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan.
According to the decree, Russian citizens and businesses, as well as the state, its regions, and municipalities, who have foreign exchange obligations to foreign creditors from the list of unfriendly countries, will be able to pay them in rubles.
The new interim method applies to monthly payments in excess of 10 million rubles (or a similar amount in foreign currency).
Meanwhile, Russia declared a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine on Tuesday at 10 a.m. (Moscow time) to provide humanitarian corridors in the cities of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Mariupol, according to a statement from Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The move comes after Russia and Ukraine had their third round of negotiations in Belarus on Monday, which reportedly ended in failure. Both parties discussed civilian evacuation at the discussion, and the Ukrainian side guaranteed Russia that the humanitarian corridor would be operational on Tuesday.
