The war and the occupation of certain territories of Ukraine are already sideways to Russia - they had to openly launch the issue and print half a trillion rubles, allegedly for the occupied regions. This is reported by the Russian media.

" For February - March of this year, the " , and its total volume in the economy reached a record 16.7 trillion rubles. "

At the same time, they are trying to convince the Russians that this is a common occurrence, with some features of the current period..

"

According to The Moscow Times, at least 900 billion cash may be required to organize settlements in the Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk and Lugansk regions..

However, in the Russian media it is not difficult to trace the trend of increasing the cash supply in the hands of the population even without the occupied territories..

So, according to the results of September 2022, the amount of cash in the hands of the population and businesses reached a record since 2015, when these statistics were started, and amounted to 14.2 trillion rubles. This follows from the data of the Central Bank, which were analyzed by Izvestia.. Over the year, the indicator increased by 1 trillion rubles, and sharp surges in demand were observed in February and September.
