"The Russian Ruble has plunged even further against the dollar, hitting record lows, as talk grows over possible sanctions against Russian energy. The US dollar/Russian Ruble is currently trading at around 155, meaning $1 is worth 155 rubles.
Before the conflict with Ukraine began, it was trading between 70 to 80 rubles to the dollar. On Monday's lows, the Russian ruble has lost 90% of its value against the US dollar since the beginning of the year.
The ruble has plunged as the West brings in tough economic sanctions and the Russian government introduced capital controls to try and stop the flow of money out of Russia."
Not good for Russia, an economic melt down in the making. And now Russians with means are trying to get out as the country is heading towards deep recession.
However, the neo-nazis are only a small faction in the east and only got 2% of the vote and hold no seat in parliment. Ukraine is not run by nazis but that's the excuse to invade Ukraine, and 'save' the Russians living there.
It seems those peaceful people already put mines in historical Ukrainian theaters and industrial giants ready to blow them up.
Those peaceful people also try to hide in apartment complexes full of civilians and then fire.
"LONDON, March 7 (Reuters) - Russia has told Ukraine it is ready to halt military operations "in a moment" if Kyiv meets a list of conditions, the Kremlin spokesman said on Monday."
Sure they do, they can make lopsided offers for peace or just false overtures to make it look like they're seeking peace while pummeling their opponents.
Those would fall under the "fake offer" genre and are done for PR.
They've already been through that phase. This is the "uh-oh. They're resisting harder than expected, and we're running out of fuel. We'd better shift gears without looking like they have us over a barrel" phase.
What I want to know is, if Ukraine agrees, will Russian forces clean up their mess before they leave?
Not to mention pay for the damages they inflicted. Ukraine may be forced to accept a bad deal but Russia will pay for this for a long time in many ways.

Why do I get a crazy feeling the US taxpayer will be paying for the rebuilding of Ukraine to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars?
