I remember hearing on France 24 (from Anastasiya Shapochkina iirc) when the sanctions were just being introduced that the sanctions would effectively make it cheaper for Russia to finance the war as most their monetary assets are in foreign currencies while most of their expenses are in rubel.

The big problem being that they can’t actually access most of those foreign assets now.

The way she put it led me to believe that there were significant non-rubel monetary assets inside the country, which I could totally believe to be true.
