The Russian ruble sank after Moscow’s exchange reopened it for trading Wednesday following a pause amid the war in Ukraine. The Moscow exchange closed ruble trading Friday as sanctions from the West — brought on by Putin’s forces attacking Ukraine — hit Russia’s economy, while offshore trading continued. Since the closure, more moves from the West have targeted Putin’s economy, and Russians got their first chance this week to react when the exchange reopened ruble trading Wednesday.
