Tkachev called the strengthening of the ruble a blow to the domestic economy
The head of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, Alexander Tkachev, believes that the strengthening of the ruble against the dollar will negatively affect Russia’s export potential. He expressed this opinion on the Rossiya 24 TV channel. “The fact that the ruble has strengthened and is strengthening today is, of course, a serious minus for our export positions, and not only for agriculture - for industry, and for many other sectors of the economy,” he said.
