The Russian Central Bank said that it is currently building assets and reserves that Western sanctions cannot target, while Russian President Vladimir Putin made an inspection visit to his country's forces on the combat fronts in the Kherson and Lugansk regions, which Moscow recently annexed from Ukraine.
The head of the Russian Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, said that her country is currently building assets and reserves that Western sanctions cannot target.
This came, according to what was reported by the Russian news agency TASS, on Tuesday, quoting Nabiullina, who also indicated that "the precautions will be able to face any future Western sanctions," without further details.
This comes, less than a year after the West restricted Russian assets worth more than 300 billion US dollars, representing nearly 50% of the total Russian reserve assets at the time.
In a related context, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an inspection visit to his country's forces on the battle fronts in the Kherson and Luhansk regions, which Moscow recently annexed from Ukraine.
And the Russian presidency, the "Kremlin", announced in a statement on Tuesday that Putin had inspected the headquarters of the "Dnieper" forces on the Kherson axis, and then went to inspect the headquarters of the "Vostok" forces in Luhansk.
The presidency added that Putin had received a briefing from officials about the situation on the front lines.
The statement did not mention the date of Putin's visit, but it is his first visit to these two regions since they were illegally annexed.
On September 30, 2022, the Kremlin signed a decree to illegally annex 4 regions of Ukraine, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson, and Luhansk.
On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine, which was followed by international rejection and economic sanctions on Moscow, which requires Kiev to abandon plans to join military entities to end its operation, which the latter considers an "interference" in its sovereignty.
