These rumors appeared almost seven months ago, when Russia attacked Ukraine and the states imposed additional tough sanctions against the aggressor country. After that, almost immediately, the Central Bank of Russia denied the possibility of using bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in international settlements with other states. Since then, no additional information has been received, including that Russia is using cryptocurrency to circumvent sanctions, including in payments for oil and gas supplies. If they do this in Russia, it will be secretly, although for this it is still necessary to secretly supply the goods themselves, that is, oil and gas. And to do this is very difficult.
