Cash In Crimea Is Almost Gone

The Kremlin is forced to carry out a special operation to deliver rubles.

In Crimea, it’s not just fuel that’s running out, but also… cash. Due to the collapse of the tourist season and the transport blockade, the inflow of cash rubles has almost come to a halt. Money is being taken out, but not brought in. The Kremlin will have to devise a special operation to deliver banknotes to the peninsula—disguising the transport to ensure the safety of the cargo.

VTB has temporarily restricted cash withdrawals from third-party bank cards at its ATMs in the annexed Crimea and Sevastopol. The restrictions will remain in effect until August 1. The bank confirmed that it has adjusted the limits for third-party bank cards but did not specify whether these limits are the same for customers of all financial institutions. The bank explained the decision by citing increased strain on the ATM network amid the current state of emergency and a desire to ensure priority access to cash for its customers. There are approximately 1,400 VTB ATMs operating on the peninsula.

Meanwhile, without consulting the International Committee of the Red Cross, Russian authorities began repainting trucks traveling to Crimea white and painting red crosses on them. The occupying authorities acted in the same way in 2014, when, under the guise of delivering “humanitarian aid,” Russian militants were being supplied in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine. This time, the Russian “Red Cross” will be transporting fuel and money to Crimea, but the “Birds of Magyar” are already preparing to meet the “humanitarian convoys” carrying “food and diapers” for the “boys in their underwear.”.
