The Russian ruble fell past 93 against the dollar on Thursday, amid continued political uncertainty in the country.
The embattled ruble extended its tumble Thursday as the leader of last month’s mutiny was said to be back in Russia despite an agreement to keep him out of the country.
The ruble fell as much as 3% to tumble past 93 per dollar, hitting the lowest level since March 2022 and extending its year-to-date losses to 25%.
While the June 24 mutiny ended in a deal that exiled Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin to Belarus, he has returned to Russia, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko told reporters on Thursday.
He added that it was unclear whether Wagner fighters were to come to Belarus, another stipulation in the deal made after the uprising.
