> You are correct, it has taken a dip recently. .011 now vs. .013 before.

You represent this ratio as 0.011 vs 0.013 to pretend it's a small difference, when in reality it's a 15% difference which is huge in forex. You're just fundamentally dishonest.

Furthermore, you have zero evidence to attribute that 15% to sanctions. It could just have easily been a result of the US Federal Reserve’s massive increase in interest rates, which has had pronounced effects on other currencies as well. You should think about your own competence before accusing others of “dishonesty”.
Considering the country is at war and the degree of sanctions waged against it, I would say 15% is laughable. Similar GDP countries have bigger swings over the same period for more mundane reasons.
