The Max messenger has become "national," meaning it will have to be pre-installed on every smartphone and tablet sold in Russia. Since Apple has officially left Russia, it does not comply with any Russian legislation, which is why it won't pre-install anything.

I don’t really believe that the EU and the U.S. will impose sanctions on liquefied natural gas from Russia, simply because the main company supplying LNG to Europe — Novatek — operates the Arctic LNG project in a consortium with a French company and a Chinese one.

I think it's a very good option right now to stock up on bucks. You can also take out a small ruble loan from the bank and convert it to dollars. I don't think the dollar will be much less than 80 anymore; I'm sure it won't, but it will be more.

I think the pressure on Putin will increase, and he will feel it. I still don’t believe he’ll bend under that pressure... He needs to keep on fighting. The military budget shows no signs of shrinking. Digital draft notices have been activated... All in all, I don’t believe the war will end.

I get the impression that, in the end, Donald Trump will come to an agreement and won’t continue to pressure the world.

And then we’ll return to our familiar 95–100. The Finance Ministry knows better how far to devalue the ruble to make the budget work. But obviously, that will definitely happen. There’s no avoiding it.
