It's just rumours, because at other news said russian will ban bitcoin mining, so Let's see at the next several weeks again.
Maybe Russian will be follow like China that banned bitcoin mining, environmental as the reason.
It is possible that in Russia they will not yet prohibit the mining of cryptocurrency. It's not there yet. Now about 85 percent of the entire Russian army is located on the territory of Ukraine, and this army is being defeated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and its people. In the south of Ukraine, units of the 49th and 22nd armies of Russia, numbering approximately 25,000 people, were actually surrounded. They are pressed against the Dnieper River, and the retreat bridges are under the fire control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This happened due to the fact that Putin's ambition did not allow him to give the order for a timely retreat on this sector of the front, and instead he ordered to strengthen the grouping of Russians. But Putin cannot repeal the laws of war. No matter how many troops Putin sends there, they all end up in a mousetrap under fire control, without a supply of ammunition and equipment. Therefore, the Armed Forces of Ukraine allowed the Russians to transfer additional troops there, removing them from the Donetsk and Izyum directions, and finally destroying bridges and crossings behind them with precise strikes. August promises to be catastrophic for the Russian army. Unlike Russians, Ukrainians fight professionally and inventively.
Since Russia is becoming more and more isolated from the civilized world with the strengthening of the imposed sanctions, it would even be logical if they would ban cryptocurrency at all so that capital would not leave the country uncontrollably.
